BSA Releases 6 Decisions
The Authority has not upheld a complaint about a clarification in a broadcast by 1News, which stated “Israel says it does not target civilians in any of its actions”. The complainant said TVNZ breached the accuracy standard because the statement was a “blatant inaccuracy”.
The BSA found the broadcast did not state as a fact that Israel does not target civilians. It accurately reported Israel’s official position and clearly attributed the statement to Israel.
