MONDAY OPEN THREAD
Overdue but finally here!
Overdue but finally here!
Why Pakistan? Some of you have questioned what Pakistan had to do with a post about Israel. The fact you have to ask that answers your own question in a way….the BBC is nowhere near as concerned with the ‘illegal creation’ of Pakistan as it is with Israel. Just why is the BBC so concerned about Palestinians but so relatively unconcerned about Indians in Kashmir or Bangladeshi history? Muslims and … Continue reading
Always providing a balanced approach to BBC bias I offer you this: As bombs rain down on the people of Gaza the BBC has once again transformed itself into a platform for Israeli government spokespeople and apologists And an example of their reasoning: ‘Discussing Operation Cast Lead, another recent report on the BBC website tells us that in 2008 ‘hundreds of Palestinians were killed on the first day … Continue reading
Via Bishop Hill The New Statesman reminds us of the BBC’s values: ‘The intrinsic value of the BBC embodies an unfashionable, anti-market ethos.’ ….whilst paying themselves hefty salaries of course….and all at the same time as denouncing Capitalism, Consumerism and ‘The Market’. This simple video demonstrates what ‘The market’ does for you…providing jobs, money, necessities of life at prices you can afford, and not a few luxuries, as … Continue reading
I see that Friday’s Open Thread is overflowing so here you go….a new one!
Funny old world you might think as the Jews, having suffered at the hands of the Nazis, turn into Nazis themselves and aim to wipe out the Palestinians. Did I just say that? Must have been listening to the BBC for far too long. The BBC were a bit nonplussed for a while when Hague blamed Hamas for starting the ‘aggression’. But the BBC has a plan…just like … Continue reading
From Breitbart: The BBC took to Twitter to let the world know that it thinks that there is no difference between terrorists and victims. If you are unaware of what is going on in Israel lately, Hamas and the Palestinians have been launching rockets into the Jewish State killing women and children in a renewed and sustained attack. Today, the Israeli government and her Defense Force (IDF) have at last … Continue reading
Razan Saffour @RazanSpeaks .@AlqassamBrigade I can’t believe I’m saying but this picture is from #Syria, not Gaza. Thank you @Huxley10 for pointing it out.

On this morning’s Today programme BBC Washington correspondent Paul Adams admitted that Benghazi was a “huge issue” in the US election. Funny that, because at the time the BBC clearly thought it was a non-story, best ignored. During the final weeks of the election campaign, as more and more evidence emerged showing contradictions in official claims over what really happened and Republican politicians demanded to know the truth, the staff … Continue reading
Here is a new thread for you to detail the bias as you see it!
