DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A BBC JOURNALIST?

>> TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2010

[Click images to enlarge] Do you suffer from a sense of cringing left-liberal guilt that is almost beyond parody? Are left-wing columnists and newspapers your essential reading?

OPEN THREAD...

So, what has the Ministry of Truth been saying that you would like to take issue with?

SCUMBAG MILLIONAIRES

I've already discussed this over on A Tangled Web but I wanted to focus on the BBC coverage with you. One could have anticipated the GLEE with which the BBC would exhibit on the news that the UK Government is to make payments "in the millions" to captured Jihadists held at Gitmo but now back in Blighty. However I feel that the entire coverage of this today is outrageously one-sided with no one being allowed to argue that these people should NOT be getting any cash and that some of them should not even be in this country. At play today is the explicit BBC meme that these guys are all innocent, that the US (Bush) is to be blame for daring to lock them up, and that we should all hang our heads in shame because we dare to imprison these cor blimey Brits doing the Jihad ordinary Brits just won't do. What a sickening dhimmified media.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY WATCH

You can always rely on the BBC's "Thought for the Day" slot to be made available for Mona Siddiqui, that most erudite and enlightened Professor of Islamic Studies and Public Understanding. Mona was on this morning informingg us that Christians have been in the Middle East for a long time and in some cases have been in places before Muslims. She seemed to forget that Jews have been there even longer...in fact she forgot to mention them at all...remarkable in a 'Thought for the Day' about the Middle East and religion! Still, I am sure Mona will be back again very shortly to share more of her wisdom with the BBC nation.

ISRAEL - FASCIST CENTRAL

Quite a few instances of deranged BBC bias today. Consider this dross from BBC correspondent Wyre Davies. You see it seems that the Israeli government has moved so far to the right that it is incapable of bringing peace. It's all the fault of the Russians, apparently. Yes, the BBC have finally found some Russians that they don't like - and they're Jewish, of course. Quite a few mentions of the word fascism thrown around in this report - the BBC has no shame in trying to label the people who suffered the most grievous loss of life in the 20th century to fascism as fascists. There is a clear editorialising towards the end of this item that Israel is growing increasingly intolerant and extreme. If ONLY it would move left, dismantle itself, and just jump in the sea. A spiteful item even by BBC base standards.
