	"description": "We call on the TV licence fee to be suspended, pending an independent inquiry into whether licence fee funds went to Hamas, a proscribed terrorist organisation Outrage has engulfed the BBC over its so-called documentary ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’, which is just the latest in a longstanding pattern of bias and brazen misreporting. The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, Lisa Nandy, has demanded that the BBC’s Director-General, Tim Davie, give her assurances that licence fee funds did not end up in the hands of terrorists. As yet, the Director-General has been unable to give her such assurances. The longer that this goes on, the more untenable Tim Davie’s position starts to look. The BBC has reportedly launched an internal investigation, but we have had enough of letting the BBC mark its own homework. We call for an independent investigation and for a suspension of the licence-fee pending the outcome of that investigation. The investigation must look into the commissioning and production of this propaganda film, whether licence fee money was handed to terrorists, and the BBC’s longstanding history of bias on this subject. It is unconscionable that the British public should be forced to pay money to an institution that cannot be certain that those funds do not go to terrorists, and whose biased broadcasting has become propaganda instead of journalism.",
