Toe to toe

The Jewish Chronicle (prop Sir Robbie Gibb) is doubling down on the BBC (non-executive editorial adviser Sir Robbie Gibb) in its call for a Parliamentary inquiry into BBC coverage of the Middle East. 

Its latest leader claims the scalp of Dateline London, the long-running News channel forum of London-based foreign correspondents, which regularly featured Abdel Bari Atwan, whom the JC thinks should be banned by the BBC. 

At time of writing the JC's petition for an inquiry has 3145 signatures.
