Biased BBC

Monday, August 04, 2008 David Vance # ABUSING THE SICK. The headline conveys the point the BBC wants to make. "Ill Palestinians asked to spy". The item then repeats the claim made by the anti-Semitic group "Physicians for Human Rights" that bad Israeli security agents are putting pressure on some poor Palestinian medical patients to become informants. If you read the article it is laced with the usual venom the BBC seems to especially reserves for Israel. Do you think ANYONE at the BBC ever stops to query the endless stream of anti-Israeli propaganda it pumps out or is the hatred of the Jewish people so great that it just gets set aside?

I listened to this item on the Today programme this morning which seemed to revolve around just howlarge a tax to impose on those of us who prefer to buy new and relatively more expensive cars. This is a cardinal sin in these carbon puritanical times and so we had Conservative (in name only) Tim Yeo and Labour comrade Peter Kilfoyle debating how much to levy on those heretics who insist on buying "gas guzzlers." There was no one to counter Yeo's inane blether that we need to "de-carbonise" our society, nor was there anyone to point out that the car manufacturing benefits from selling "expensive" cars and that well paid jobs depend on those of us laying out our hard-earned cash to buy these vehicles and that government benefits from all the gas our gas guzzlers use up! I'm sick of this constant attack on motorists and the BBC's enthusiasm to give monopolistic air-time to those tyrants who want to dictate to us what type of car we should drive. Aren't you?
