BBC sees error of its ways?

Director General of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Mark Thompson just urged BBC reporters to be more forthright in reporting on questions relating to Islam, for fear of offending Muslims (click here for a summary of his talk, thanks to Dhimmi Watch). That certainly would be a good thing; it would also be a good thing if the BBC took a more nonpartisan approach to coverage of Israeli-Palestinian affairs. For reports alleging substantial BBC bias on that subject, see the website of BBC Watch.
