Biased BBC

Friday, January 02, 2009 David Vance # ENOUGH WITH THE AID WORKER. Ok, I'm fed up with the relentless Palestinian propaganda that the BBC is serving up on what it chooses to call the "Aid Worker Diary." Can someone direct me to whom in the BBC I can take my compliant since this one-sided narrative has gone on long enough. If you can help me - I will keep you all briefed on the subsequent conversation. If we are going to have "Aid Worker Diary" from Gaza, then we need to have "Aid worker Diary Sderot".

Did anyone else hear it? Not sure where to start. We were treated to a BBC reporter stating that although Hamas rockets now looked like they could target many more parts of Israel than has previously been the case (Cue applause?) we had to remember that "only four" Israelis had died so far. Only four.Meanwhile, as he briskly moved on, HUNDREDS of Palestinians have been killed. Once again the preferred BBC tactic of lumping Hamas terrorists and any innocent by-standers in one easy media bite-sized number being used for maximum impact. Then, just in case your sympathies with the Jihadists in Gazan had not been fully engaged, cue Red Ken! Yes, Livingstone was wheeled on to demonstrate his unrelenting and stomach-churning hatred of Israel, mouthing every pro-Palestinian cliche you could imagine. At no point was any other point of view allowed. Why? Can't PM find anyone who thinks Israel may have a case worth making? The BBC - giving you all the news Hamas want you to hear. BTW, On a totally different theme, I also caught the ubiquitous Vince Cable being interviewed on the economy. His big plan for 2009 is to go after those in the financial institutions who "misled" ordinary people into making poor investment decisions. Nothing changes. Comments: 22 (unread) - Biased BBC Home
