One would expect news coverage of victims on both sides, especially considering that one of the Palestinian victims is the 11 month old child of a BBC news reporter.\r\n\r\nThis petition is calling for the abolition of the BBC TV licence. If we can no longer expect the BBC to provide fair, inclusive and unbiased coverage and reporting then there is clearly no longer a justification for the existence of a BBC license fee.\r\n","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-11-16T16:18:40.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:35.963Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:39:57.693Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-11-16T16:18:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
