The Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation is the Palestinian Authority's state broadcaster. Through October 2023 the opening said the Israeli government had singled out PBC for broadcasting material deemed to be anti-Semitic or that incited violence. Today the opening carries none of that finding, though the word survives once in the body. A reader today learns when PBC was established and what it broadcasts, and not that the Israeli government found its content antisemitic.
