(Telegraph-UK) Jonathan Wynne-Jones - For six years, Steven Sugar pursued a one-man legal battle against the BBC in an attempt to force it to disclose an internal assessment of its coverage of the Middle East conflict which he believed would reveal bias against Israel. Mr. Sugar won an appeal for a full court hearing but died of cancer in January at the age of 61. Now, his widow, Fiona Paveley, has taken up the fight to reveal the contents of the 20,000-word document and the case is to be heard at the Supreme Court. The BBC has spent more than 270,000 pounds on legal fees to prevent the public from seeing the report.
