Funny how the BBC turns a blind eye to the ‘Muhammedisation’ of Europe and yet expresses great concern about its ‘Putinisation’……
Poland accuses BBC of bias after broadcaster alleges country is being ‘Putinised’
Poland has launched a formal protest against the BBC in connection with a film suggesting that its current government was “Putinising” the country. A letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs accused the broadcaster of being biased in its portrayal.The report in question was broadcast on the BBC’s current affairs program Newsnight, which featured interviews with a government official, as well as members of the Polish public who are against recently introduced changes affecting Poland’s judiciary and the media.
“In our opinion, the report Is Poland being ‘Putinised? presented the current political situation in Poland in a superficial and distorted manner, far from the journalistic merits expected from the BBC and in apparent contradiction to some of the broadcaster’s own editorial guidelines,” a statement from Artur Dmochowski, a spokesman for Poland’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, read.
Looking at RT, I suppose Putinisation means less censorship than the BBC.
The BBC reported , ‘…in a superficial and distorted manner, far from the journalistic merits expected from the BBC and in apparent contradiction to some of the broadcaster’s own editorial guidelines,”
Of course the Polish spokesman got it completely wrong when he spoke of it being, ‘far from the journalistic merits expected from the BBC.’ It’s exactly what we’ve come to expect from the BBC.
Crikey! He didn’t expect fairness and integrity did he?
Katie Razzall no less, its unfair to judge people using criteria beyond their own merit, politically though this apple does not appear to have fallen far from the tree.
