In response to perceived falsehoods and distortions in a BBC One "Panorama" documentary, 'A Walk in the Park', transmitted in January 2010, the British journalist Melanie Phillips wrote an open letter in the news magazine "The Spectator" to the Secretary of State for Culture, Jeremy Hunt, to accusin the BBC of "flagrantly biased reporting of Israel" and to urge the BBC to confront the "prejudice and inertia which are combining to turn its reporting on Israel into crude pro-Arab propaganda, and thus risk destroying the integrity of an institution".
