No it isn’t, being generally pro israel is just the unpopular opinion rn, it will flip back within the decade.
The article is not talking about pro Israel opinions.
It points out specific ways that current practices are leading to credulous and untrustworthy reporting. And highlights the history that the current editor in chief (who began 2 days after oct 7) has of bowing to Israeli government pressure in his previous role at the BBC, including firing specific staff at their request.
It is obviously not credible journalism to just take the word of a government at war. Governments lie, moreso when they are at war.
