I’m a little pressed for time at the moment, but I prefer blogging to working can just spare a moment to post some links. Some are things I have seen around the internet, some are emails from readers.
hello from thailand. i like your blog very much; know i have a refernce to support my gut feeling about bbc for so long now time.
This story is worth pointing out to you if you have not seen it
China ‘anti-terror’ raid kills 18
waging a campaign
Is it not the Muslim separatists who are waging a campaign?
but human rights groups say the Chinese authorities are using the fight against terrorism as a way of cracking down on the independence movement and suppressing religious freedom.
What are the names of the “Human Rights” groups they mention? Who are they and what is their relevance? Why is it wrong for a country to suppress an independence movement seeking to overthrow the government? Why does the BBC consider people armed with weapons and sowing terror to “religious” people? Or are we just supposed to believe China is picking on Muslims because it has nothing better to do?
Chinese crusaders?
Uighurs worried about Chinese immigration and erosion of traditional culture
This is the same excuse that BBC puts at the bottom of every article dealing with Islamic terrorists fighting to carve away a separate Sharia state in other countries. Every BBC article about Islamic terrorism here in Thailand ends with the same note. It is intended to imply that there is some justification for the terrorism and thereby excuse Islam as the motivating cause of the violence. BBC clearly has a pro-Islamic, anti-Christian-Jewish-Buddhist-anything other than Muslim bias that no one seems to want to talk about.
Suggestion: that BBBC reviews new books on BBC –
1.) Robin Aitken ‘Can We Trust the BBC?’ (out 10 Feb); see Amazon for details.
2.) Richard D. North ‘Scrap the BBC! : Ten Years to Set Broadcasters Free’ for details see Amazon, or the interesting site: Social Affairs Unit
Cheers,

Natalie,
Why isn’t there a RRS feed at Biased BBC? With so may sites, blogs etc about I – for one – can only keep up with those with RSS feeds and I would like to keep up with Biased BBC.
Guiltyguiltyguilty. Fiddling with computer stuff is a task that I hate so much that I actually prefer work in comparison. Nevertheless I will do something about this Real Soon …er… Soon.
UPDATE: In the comments Hettie and Yaffle say that all Blogger blogs are RSS-enabled via Bloglines and Simon says that there is an RSS feed here, although for the latter link I am getting “Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet,” whatever that means.
no rss feed? There is. BBBC gets updated using bloglines. And as far as I know all blogger blogs have feeds even if there’s no rss sign on the page.
Regards
Hettie

So when Muslims and alleged terrorists clash with the Chinese government, which denies independence to Tibet and Taiwan, suppresses internet search engines even, routinely abuses religious minorities (raping Falun Gong activists with electric batons etc) and carries out more extra-judicial executions than the entire world does legitimate ones, B-BBC decides that the Chinese government must be in the right so long as it’s fucking up Muslims. Nice to know what I’m dealing with here.
