they are technicians and are simply reporting their findings, which are generally verifiable
Yeah, I get it. Nevertheless, the "verify" came out two days after the BBC reporting. Probably got around the world twice.
BBC has shown a very distinct Anti-Israel bias
And that's what people see. Once the story's out - they don't look for the "Vertify." They don't care.
"I heard it on the Beeb..." and that's where the thinking stops.
(too lazy, and only one coffee so far)
Did the Beeb actually retract and/or correct the story, or did they leave it to "Verify" for people to seek it out?

I’m sure the regular reporters thought their reporting was perfectly even handed and simply represented the facts that were relevant at the time. No need for a retraction…
