BBC staff are pefectly entitled told whatever opnions they choose, but it is unproffessional and totally dishonest to tell lies.

All media sources should make all reports unbiased, but don't always. The BBC is by far the worst offender especially against Israel and pro terrorist enemies of Israel!!

If there was no bias the BBC would have released the report years ago.

When the Balen report is opened up it will expose the shortcomings of the BBC Trustees and of course Lord Patton. Good reason to sign this petition

We depend on the BBC's impartiality, which is much strained in its conscious and unconscious ant-Israel bias. Let's hear what the report has to say

Letting us see the report will I confirm or negate the concerns many people have hold about the BBC & it's adherence to being impartial.

ost people rely on the BBC for accurate reportingof world events. It is therefore imperative that the BBC ensures that the truth is shown,not only of other events around the world, but also the facts about israel. The Balen Report should be published, andthe BBC's current reporting stance relative to israel should also be investigated

Clearly the report is an embarrassment to the BBC. A DISGRACEFUL COVER UP!

What is it that the BBC finds so dreadful in this Report that it keeps it hidden from view? We should be told!

I'm not surprised. The Biased Broadcasting Corporation has as long as I can remember shown bias against Israel.

Release of this report could obviate accusations of bias. Why does the BBC not do this if it has nothing to hide?

It is about time that the BBC was open about its so-called open reporting policy

Surely the BBC who claims to be impartial will have no problem in releasing this report.

I am outraged that this report has been suppressed for so long. It is high time it should be published. We deserve the truth.

The BBC, under its long-standing editor has shown consistent anti-Israel bias, from the time of Orla Guerin to the current reporters and the failure to let its "customers" see what their money paid for to the tune of thousands of pounds in the Balen Report is just one of the scandals perpetrated under the regime of its regional editor.

The BBC is not even close to meeting its own criteria on accuracy of reporting
