Note…Graphic photos of death. The BBC Middle East crew are ratcheting up the propaganda that paints the Israelis as living in a safe haven of bomb shelters, protected from puny and ineffective, makeshift Palestinian rockets by the ‘Iron Dome’ missile system and with a sophisticated, powerful, savage army that brutally enforces the siege of Gaza and targets civilians…or cares less whether they become casualties or not. The repeated … Continue reading
Target rich environment at the moment…..Carry on…..let’em have it.
Sorry, there are no results for ‘radio asian fever’ in the category ‘News’. What is Radio Asian Fever? ‘Radio Asian Fever will serve the south Asian communities of Leeds, in and around the Harehills area.’ It’s also a radio station that had been ruled by Ofcom in June as ‘likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime’ against the gay community. I can find no reference … Continue reading
Bearing in mind that the job was as Director General of the BBC, one of the world’s biggest and most powerful broadcasters, you might think that the job would be hard to just walk into. In fact it seems it would be harder to get a job in the BBC canteen than to get your feet under the DG’s desk. Here is is a statement by Chris Patten which … Continue reading
Aasmah Mir ?@AasmahMir RT this if you still love the BBC.. These tweets come from a stream provided by this site which brings together most of the BBC crew in Israel/Gaza. They are mostly from Gaza and as such present a certain narrative to the world that is pretty much concentrated on Gaza…and as decided by the BBC, on the victims of Israeli strikes. That by its very nature … Continue reading
Jeremy Bowen is doing his bit for the war effort….we’re just not sure whose. Here he is pushing the sentimental narrative on behalf of the Palestinians…. Jeremy Bowen ?@BowenBBC Piece I wrote for the BBC website about the #Gaza ceasefire — and the girl with the wish list http://bbc.in/Y62IVi #Israel Jeremy Bowen ?@BowenBBC Wishes for the future handed to a #BBC colleague from a child whose family fled from … Continue reading
The BBC are pretty insistent that rockets from Gaza are a reaction to Israel’s blockade on Gaza…..you could choose to believe that except that the rocket fire started a long time before the blockade and evidence shows that the mindset of the rocketeers is not effected by anything the Israelis actually do…it is their very presence in ‘Palestine’, ALL of Palestine, that is the cause of the rockets. … Continue reading
There’s nothing like kicking a man when he’s down and Steve Hewlett is giving George Entwistle, and Mark Thompson, a bit of a thumping in this interview with Sheila Fogarty about the new DG, Tony Hall. (From 55 mins) He also vividly demonstrates the visceral hatred and antipathy for Thatcher (PBUH) that still runs through the blood of any veteran BBCer. What is notable about this interview is that Thompson … Continue reading
I read these tweets and then read a report on BBC Watch which relates what the BBC’s Kevin Connolly has been saying on the Jeremy Vine show…..that it is not insignificant that the Israeli elections are nearing…..but there is a distinct mismatch between the outlook from the Israeli tweets and Connolly…..reading the tweets would indicate that if this was a war launched as part of an election campaign … Continue reading
