It seems like only yesterday that we were lamenting the BBC’s distorted history lessons designed to beguile children with short attention spans.
Horrible Histories I believe their child-friendly series is called. I think they intended the title as an anarchic, anti-authoritarian way of ingratiating themselves with the kiddies in a ‘Roald Dahl / we hate adults’ kinda way.
But the title makes more sense as a straightforward description of their version of history, which is horrible in a ‘blame-our-ancestors for everything bad-that-ever-happened’ kinda way.
Now, on a website from down-under called J-Wire, the BBC and the History Channel have been taken apart by David Singer for gross misrepresentation of the history of you-know-where. Major omissions abound. You can read about it here, here and learn something relevant here.
Is it really surprising that we are where we are?
Two of the links have herf instead of href.
My fav bit of bBC history was the bbC websites Palestine historical maps of ….Palestine. Which explained how when Israel was formed the neighbors walked in. Which i suppose is one way of saying that every Arab nation which bordered the nascent state of Israel invaded with their armies with the sole aim to kill every jew going.
On Israel, Islam Not BBC (INBBC) behaves like a propaganda arm of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).
These are the ‘missing links’
