Biased BBC

Tuesday, March 17, 2009 sue # Please Tell Your Colleagues Will the BBC’s Bill Law be telling his colleagues about this meeting in Istanbul? Only it might give them a clue as to the nature of Israel’s enemy. So much for the Muslim Council of Britain So much for opening the borders, so much for ‘Talk to Hamas’, so much for the Peace Process. Someone tell the Today programme. Tell them about the attitude Hamas really has towards the civilians they sacrificed in Gaza: “Mr. Nazzal told his audience: "Don't worry about casualties."The 23 days of bombardment of Gaza, in which some 1,300 people, many of them civilians and nearly 300 of them children, are believed to have died, was "just the beginning" of the struggle, Mr. Nazzal said. To laughter in the audience, another speaker noted that twice as many babies were born as children were killed during the war.Every death, I was told, was a martyrdom on the road to liberation.” Good for Bill Law for reporting this. Please don't forget to tell your colleagues, because I'm wondering how long the rest of the BBC’s blindness can go on. And if any of them saw the Dispatches programme last night a few more alarm bells should have gone off. But no doubt it will be filed away with all the rest under the heading ’tiny minorities’.

I see the BBC does it's very best to misrepresent what Pope Benedict has said concerning his views on how the plague of AIDS can be best reduced in Africa. "Pope tells Africa condoms wrong". He did not but then again "Pope tells Africa marital fidelity and abstinence right" is hardly going inspire the tatty little minds that doodle BBC headlines, would it?

I suppose it was inevitable that with this being St Patrick's Day the BBC would provide a forum on Thought for the Day to eulogise the immoral "peace process" and it did not disappoint. We had Tom Butler on to mouth the usual platitudes whilst studiously ignoring the fact that the republican "dissidents" killing in 2009 are no different to those who started killing in 1969 but which the BBC treats as heroes 40 years later.

I had to check if the date was April 1st when I heard the BBC item that our Dear Leader was inviting the Iranians to combat climate change by expanding "peaceful" nuclear energy. Bet the Israelis will really love that! Naturally the paper tiger caveat from Prudence is that there will be (more) strict UN resolutions (the sort that we know don't work) if the Mullahs do what they are doing anyway and develop nuclear weapons. Truly pathetic stuff from Brown, designed to ingratiate himself with Obama, and all without a second thought for the nation that Iran has clearly within its atomic cross-hairs. Not that the BBC like to talk about that aspect of things. Iran is just a friend we have to meet. Comments: 37 (unread) - Biased BBC Home David Vance # BBC SURVEY SHOWS POPE IS CATHOLIC! Hi all - been away for a few days and just back in time to catch the screaming headline from the BBC that.... a BBC survey shows that Universities would like to be able to charge students more in tuition fees. In what way is this news beyond the stating of the bleeding obvious? I would be surprised if any University refused the chance for a higher income stream! What would be interesting would be a BBC survey to show us how well the crop of graduates under Labour have been faring in the job market with their shiny bright new degrees from our State backed universities. Then again the Education debate is always framed in a particular way, isn't it, with radical egalitarianism at the heart of all the BBC offer us up on this topic.

What has the BBC got to say about the M.P.s who are talking to Hamas in Syria? Suicide-bomber sympathiser Jenny Tonge aims to force our government to talk to Hamas, and put pressure on the US to do so too. She said she was aware that her meeting with Meshaal could be considered illegal and that she could face arrest on return to the UK. "That is one of the risks that you take," she said, hoping for martyrdom, but stopping short of suicide. Will they they arrest Clare Short, Michael Ankram and Fianna Fáil TD, Chris Andrews too? He knows all about ‘talking’, what with the NI peace process - oh wait. The BBC has been strangely quiet about this, unlike several other news outlets, but Sarah Montague is overtly in favour of talking to Hamas, - can’t wait for Today tomorrow.
