Paul Mason has set up a Tumblr account. You may like to have a look….either to try and dig some ‘dirt’ or just out of interest…..it does in fact look, from a spectator’s point of view, quite a diverting and absorbing site…just remember the Devil has the best tunes…don’t be fooled and sucked in. One thing Mason does admit is that Orwell “…would have ripped the **** mercilessly … Continue reading
A little light relief from Gaza etc ….. Newsnight editor Paul Mason up for Bad Sex book award BBC Newsnight’s economics editor Paul Mason has been shortlisted for the Literary Review’s Bad Sex Awards 2012 for his debut novel. The Guardian enjoyed it: Reading the passages rich in masochistic sex, you easily imagine Mason joyfully kicking free of BBC fact-checkers. but…. The BBC are a bit … Continue reading
What the BBC’s Jon Donnison does link to is interesting…an ‘Economist’ (a Leftie publication) run down of the ‘numbers’ from the Israel/Palestine conflict. Jon Donnison @JonDonnison MT @WyreDavies Number-crunching. #Gaza and #Israel in stats, from The Economist. http://www.economist.com/blogs/pomegranate/2012/11/israel-and-palestinians?fsrc=scn/tw_ec/gaza_abacus … … The emphasis is that the Israelis suffer very few casualties whilst the Palestinians are being mown down…. ‘Total number of Israelis killed by rocket, mortar or anti-tank fire … Continue reading
BBC journos are all too ready to show victims of Israeli ‘brutality’….or even vicitms of Syrian bombings dressed up as victims of Israeli ‘aggression’. Will they show this and the true nature of Hamas/Palestinian animals…..(Graphic photo) a half dozen men on motorcycles just dragged the body of a man down a main street in #Gaza. They were yelling he was a spy for Israel— Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November … Continue reading
The BBC has been caught once again peddling Hamas propaganda. If they cannot be certain of the origin of a photo then should they be so ready to use it…especially of such an emotive subject? The BBC knows, just as Hamas does, that the ‘tears of a child say more than words ever can’. A picture of an injured or dead child is ‘currency’ in the world of Hamas propaganda … Continue reading
One of the themes for the defence of the BBC and its management is that the BBC is ‘accountable’, that no other organisation would investigate itself so thoroughly and that top management took responsibility for the recent crisis. Entwistle only went because he was ‘pushed’, and ‘pushed’ by his own side in the shape of John Humphrys. In that interview he tried to evade all responsibility just as he did … Continue reading
The Today programme bring on a ‘ringer’ (Last 5 minutes) in the form of Abd Al Bari Atwan, editor of Al Quds Al Arabi newspaper…from Gaza and who is pretty much an extremist where Israel is concerned….but the BBC don’t mention that when they usher him in to give us his take on the Israeli response to being bombarded by Palestinian rockets……. He claims there is no military solution….in other … Continue reading
The BBC’s coverage is getting ever more disgraceful when you consider the ultimate consequences of the effect such coverage begets for Jews around the world. This was a sequence of reports from the BBC on 5Live: 1. Multiple News bulletins….. ‘Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza which has been hit with 80 Israeli strikes….only one rocket was fired from Gaza.’ 2. Single report……Jon Donnison reports that Israel has made 80 … Continue reading
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
