Honest Reporting is too kind. Shameless and disgusting is more to the point.
Charles has a couple of good examples: Jaw-Dropping Reuters Hamas Propaganda
and
BBC: Hamas Rockets Are 'Response' To Israel
The media are in full-scale propaganda meltdown mode over Israel's military actions against Gaza, excusing and whitewashing Hamas and demonizing Israel for all they're worth, waging a media jihad to defeat Israel in the court of public opinion. It's beyond disgusting...
OK, beyond disgusting, then.

It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."

Since when HASN'T British media reacted against Israel?
They are still mad about the King David Hotel, and because an army of schnooks threw them out of the Middle East.
Also, a quick study of British history will be most revealing.
That said - ENOUGH ALREADY. It's too disgusting. But then this is the country, in The Guardian, that gave us a cartoon of Ariel Sharon eating Arab babies. It won an award too.
Humbug.
The arrogant brits are still shocked that the Israelis were not defeated in 1948.
I'm guessing that in 1948, when the british occupiers left Israel, they smugly believed that the fledgling Israelis would suffer the same fate as the Jews of 1940's WW2 - go to their deaths hopelessly, helplessly.
The Israelis kicking the arab armies must have made a lot of brit twits sputter their tea and pop their monocules out.
Anyhow the UK is going down the tubes, at an accelerated rate every year. Their home-grown "asian militants" will be bombing british transportation once more.
british journalist alan johnston was kidnapped by arab "militants" and the british media was slamming Israel.
"F" the UK.
...like Eddie said...
The BBC funded a paintballing trip for men later accused of Islamic terrorism and then failed to pass on information about the July 21st subway bombers to police.
They are, like the state that supports them, often too dumb to look out for their own self interests.
