, so little time- to chronicle it that is.
Take this article about Sharon. Well, no, it’s not about Sharon actually as it’s about his first name, ‘Ariel’, and how it’s been discouraged as a child’s name by a group of online Rabbis. Excuse me- is that news? It’s anti-Sharon (though mainly from the Beeb’s pov, not necessarily the Rabbis), for sure, but it seems so ridiculous to try to squeeze news in this fashion, when there’s endless Islamonutism out there waiting for the BBC’s attention. Imagine the intray of Islamo-nuts instances, and then consider how the whiff of anti-Sharon Jewish wackos brings the BBC’s instant interest.
Here’s just one random example of recent Islamofascist tendancies which seems to have escaped BBC news online, and let’s face they’re not thin on the ground. Yet what really grates is the sense that the BBC is just sucking up to its vast audience of muslims, hoping perhaps to avoid the brick through its journalistic windows. It didn’t protect Gardner, but that seems to have had little effect.
