Jim Miller compares and contrasts the Sun‘s treatment of the visit to Britain of Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who advocates wife beating, execution for homosexuals and suicide bombing by children, to the BBC’s much more insipid account.
Reader Patrick Bramwell sends another link and writes:
An utterly appalling whitewash of Al-Qaradawi on today’s UK BBC Online. The man is the soul of moderation, in tune with the mainstream Arab thinking, and a peacemaker!!!
This one is a real doozy so far as BBC bias goes.
In defence of Magdi Abdelhadi, who wrote the piece, the assertion that al-Qaradawi is in tune with mainstream Arab thinking may well be correct. It is notoriously difficult to know what people in unfree societies really believe.
