One from the archives. Back in January BBC News apologised for the error of calling Israeli hostages 'prisoners'.
But they never apologise for calling the thousands of Palestinian hostages 'prisoners', do they? Of course they don't because that's not an error, its deliberate.

Conversion therapy for minors is child abuse. It robs them of the two things they need most: a secure attachment with their parents rooted in acceptance, care and unconditional love; and a secure attachment to their own precious, authentic selves.
