Some claims of BBC bias are based on fact, others are based on pure fantasy as this ‘report’, ‘Racism and Zionism Rule the BBC’s Failing News Agenda’ from 21st Century Wire illustrates….unknown who backs 21Wire but if it isn’t Iran I’d be surprised…Patrick Henningsen, founder of 21Wire, being a stout defender of Press TV and of Assad’s Iran friendly Syria………
Monday 18th February 2013 was a day to demonstrate against the BBC’s blackout of news coverage of the plight of Palestinian hunger strikers.
All very worthy….However a quick look at BBC coverage shows that the BBC have been far from lax in their desire to report the hunger strikes from the beginning…….so not really biased in favour of the Israelis…who’dathunk?:

The bBC reports on the rise of Islamophobia in the UK.
632 anti-Muslim hate incidents recorded by Tell Mama
A government-backed project set up to monitor anti-Muslim hate has recorded 632 incidents in its first year
Wow what a nasty place for Muslims is the Uk with such a high percentage of Anti-Muslim hate over 2012. But hang on what this taken from the NGO ‘Tell Mamma’
64.3% of all cases were on line
Click to access AntiMuslim.pdf
Meanwhile the much smaller Jewish community recorded many more attacks from the very band of fellows the bBC is trying to portray as victims. You couldn’t make this up in a month of Sundays (or in the bBCs case ..Fridays)
The bBC, the traitors within our midst

“tell mama” is nothing more, than a vehicle
to trump up the “crock”, the lie intended to deceive
of islamo FAUX bia, its own “orchestrated” methods
are themselves questionable, as your percentage clearly shows.
yet another charade, to portray the most dangerous/poisonous cult around as the “perpetual victim” …
there is one thing .. the bbc will love it.

The Islam and ‘left’ political alliance presents their invented ‘islamophobia’ as a fact, but the real and violent caucasophobia of the Islamic supremacists gets a political ‘pass’.
“Caucasophobia — the Accepted Racism” (2006).
http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.co.uk/2006/10/caucasophobia-accepted-racism.html
Who is to be feared in e.g. a street:
a.) someone covered from, head to toe, in an Islamic burqa
OR
b.) a white person nearby who steers clears of such a disguised person?

The BBC gets complaints from both sides on this issue. But the majority of complaints about pro-Israel bias seem to be along the lines of demands for the BBC to condemn Israel outright, that Israel’s very existence is somehow illegitimate (the BBC is partially successful there), to treat all Palestinians as innocent civilian victims of aggression (the BBC is mostly successful there), and portray it as the sole villain (ditto).

It’s all just Kabuki Theater. Leftist nutcases make ridiculous accusations of bias so the BBC can claim to be criticised by ‘both sides’. That’s all it is.
Meanwhile, where is the left’s ‘Balen Report’?

The complaints aren’t made with the BBC’s integrity facade in mind, but without actually knowing what they are, it’s impossible to judge their validity. The BBC seems to claim success based on the quantity and not quality. It’s presumably protected from FOI requests, so I don’t see a solution.

So when is somebody from the bBC going to air a story about how Islam breeds intolerance towards women and non Muslims.
Islamic girls’ school sex assault: Three arrested
Three men have been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and false imprisonment within the grounds of an Islamic girls’ school, police said. Police said they were investigating reports surrounding the welfare of a small group of teenage girls at Jamea Al Kauthar in Lancaster. A 40-year-old from Bolton and two men from Blackburn, aged 30 and 53, are in police custody.
Hove to love how the bBC inserted this in which to appease its Islamic masters:
Searches are being conducted at the school by female officers.
Yup the British Police (And the bBC) affording Muslims more respect towards their religion than what Muslims themselves afford.
Islam, the gay death cult which promotes this view of do as I say not as I do

I do love how the bBC continually promotes this view that all Muslims are wonderful peaceful pious humans and thus has amended its reporting standards to fit that mold:
Ahmadinejad under fire for consoling Chavez’s mother
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is mired in a fresh controversy over both real and fake photos showing him consoling the grieving family members of late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez
And in typical bBC propaganda mode they come out with this beauty:
Muslim men are by tradition forbidden to touch women who are not members of their close family.
Err anybody at the bBC wish to comment on each and every kiddy fiddling story that has reared its ugly head these past few years concerning Muslim men who are going against their faith. In fact the latest such story comes from an Islamic school in the Uk where Islamic girls are taught about how wonderful Islam is.
The bBC, the mouthpiece for Intolerant Islam paid for by the British Non Islamic tax payer
