Aithris na Maidne, 麻豆社 Radio Nan G脿idheal, 8 August 2025

Complaint

A listener complained this programme was biased in favour in Israel because it included no representation of Palestinian viewpoints.  The ECU considered whether it met the standards for impartiality set out in the 麻豆社 Editorial Guidelines.  


Outcome

The UN Security Council was due to discuss the situation of the Israeli hostages in Gaza later that day, and the programme focused on the hostage situation and its impact on Israel鈥檚 actions.  In this context, impartiality did not require Palestinian viewpoints to be reflected, though they have been extensively represented elsewhere in the 麻豆社鈥檚 coverage of the conflict, including on Radio Nan G脿idheal.

Not upheld
