And so a five hour ceasefire is agreed between Israel and Gaza. The BBC breathlessly informs is this will provide the people of Gaza with at least a little respite. As for what it does for the Jews? Well. F*** them seems to be the BBC editorial line. What a loathsome broadcaster.

The BBC reports that a British computer expert who admitted supporting terrorism through the internet has been sentenced in a US court to 12-and-a-half years in prison. Babar Ahmad, of Tooting, south London, had admitted conspiracy and providing material to support the Taliban. Yet on the Today programme this morning, again in the 6.30-7am slot, we had a BBC correspondent giving us a VERY sympathetic piece on Ahmad. He was allowed to tell … Continue reading →

Hamas must be so pleased that they have embedded Jeremy Al Bowen and Lyce Doucet in the BBC. The latter’s venom towards Israel was visceral on the Today programme this morning  – just after 6.30am. She trotted out what Israel said with regard to the accidental killing of the 4 young boys on the beach in Gaza and then immediately cast doubt on the veracity of it herself. I appreciate … Continue reading →

  Jonathan Freedland, who just a few minutes earlier Mishal Husain told us worked for the Guardian and the Jewish Chronicle but didn’t mention the BBC, pops up, yet again, on the BBC: The Long View Jonathan Freedland examines the current anxieties surrounding the teaching of history through the prism of history textbooks from around a century ago with his guests in front of an audience at the Chalke Valley … Continue reading →

    Jeremy Bowen, the BBC’s Middle East editor, is demanding a ceasefire:                

    H/T  Is the BBC Biased         On the Today programe we had a strange lttle report that came from nowhere, (0835) bearing little relation to anything in the news ( the charity commission story is well out of date) and seemingly inserted at the instigation of the BBC’s climate activist Roger Harrabin in order to continue his personal campaign against Lord Lawson’s Global warming Policy … Continue reading →

    Which senior BBC journalist said this?: ‘We cannot get across the view that Palestinians are a displaced people who are fighting to overthrow, as they see it, a brutal military rule.’   Who are ‘the many’  senior BBC journalists who say that ‘They simply cannot get the Palestinian viewpoint acoss, the perspective they cannot say is that Israel is a brutal apartheid state.’   They cannot say that..because … Continue reading →

Here you go, a new thread. Off you go…detail the bias.

        Hamas bombards Israel and refuses to agree a cease fire That’s one headline the BBC could have, should have, written…instead they chose this one: Gaza conflict: Israel restarts air strikes amid rocket fire   Here’s the front page…once again the emphasis is on Israel and Israel is presented as the ‘aggressor’ in the headline:   No peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with … Continue reading →

    Interesting, as always, couple of exchanges with Nicky Campbell this morning on ‘Your Call’.   Campbell emphasised this is about ‘your calls’…just a shame that that isn’t necessarily true…step over the BBC imposed line of what is ‘acceptable’ and you’ll find ‘your call’ gets you a self-righteous and sanctimonious telling off from Campbell. This morning’s effort was about the conflict in Gaza…though I would object to that narrow … Continue reading →
