Here you go folks, a new Open Thread for your completion! This is where you detail the bias…

Did you see this? “Shopping secrets of the Taliban revealed” By Riaz Sohail. Might this be an attempt to humanise the savages in the Taliban? Why would the BBC think this is “newsworthy”?

I have to be honest and say that I did a double take when reading Jeremy Bowen’s twitter feed. I THOUGHT it has to be a parody but evidently not. Hamas must love him.

And Israel has serious questions to answer. Especially after lethal attack on disabled home #Gaza

Over the years, we have covered many of the flare ups in this region and the BBC bias is truly visceral. Palestinians are ALWAYS innocent victims and Israelis are ALWAYS the aggressors. The script never changes. Never any investigation into how Hamas operate. Never any consideration of why Hamas rockets Israel on a daily basis. The three young Israelis boys kidnapped and shot to death now forgotten. Most times, I can brush off the BBC bias with the contempt it deserves BUT when it comes to this vile Palestinian propaganda machine, it makes me seethe with anger.

A few days ago, parts of the public sector chose to strike. The Daily Mail suggests that the public sector strike was not as successful as anticipated whilst some of the BBC’s early web news headlines implied a “mass” turnout. There seems to be a bit of a contradiction ? I am sure the Daily Mail has a bias in its coverage but so has our allegedly impartial State Broadcaster surely?

Overdue but the floor is YOURS. Any views on the Hamas British Broadcasting Corporation and its BIAS?

Alright folks, another week starts and here is where we NAIL the bias from the BBC. Please detail egregious instances of their serial bias but also have regard to libel laws! The floor is yours….

Gotta love the BBC’s endless profound propagandising for Palestinians. Three teenage Israeli boys are taken away and shot to death by Palestinians. Cue PR problem. Then, Palestinian boy is also brutally murdered. We don’t know by whom but the BBC were quick to make it pretty clear that it was by Israelis “in revenge”. Maybe this is true, and NO ONE would see this murder as anything other than obscene BUT the BBC are the guys who were sooooo reluctant to accept that Hamas killed the three Israeli boys. Now, a few days on, with Israel targeting Hamas in Gaza, guess what? Yes…Hamas are holding out a branch of peace….

“Hamas has offered to halt its rocket attacks if Israel stops its air raids on the Gaza Strip, the BBC understands. A source with the Palestinian militant group said Egyptian intelligence officials had brokered a potential ceasefire, after escalating clashes. Israel says sporadic shelling from Gaza has continued. Several rockets and mortars landed without causing harm.”

The Palestinians are ALWAYS the victims. Hamas and the IDF are presented as if they are in any way comparable – which they are not. And most importantly, Israel is always in the wrong.

Here you go, it’s Friday and so time for a new one of these! Detail the bias here please.

Here you go, I can see the old open thread one is listing faster than the BBC’s gallery of 1970’s superstars. Over to you..see bias, detail it here!

I tuned into the BBC Today programme this morning before 7am. I was informed that the savage murder of the three young Israeli boys “may” have been “an unauthorised kidnapping” that “went wrong” and thus is no reflection on the good name of Hamas. This is EXACTLY how the BBC responded to the IRA’s bombing of Canary Wharf if you will recall – they instinctively default to the position that any terrorist act carried out is somehow a rogue one, not planned and most certainly not authorised. Just wait for this story to develop when Israel responds to the Hamas barbarism and John Humphrys can sigh about how this “sets back the peace process”.
