BBC or Bullsh1t Broadcasting Corporation against Israel!

[GHook93]

BBC Caught Red-Handed on Anti-Israel, False Coverage by Hana Levi Julian (IsraelNN.com) A media monitoring organization and a British citizen forced the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to apologize for blatant anti-Israel news coverage. They caught the network “red-handed,” reporting falsely. The BBC has frequently been accused of biased coverage slanted against Israel; Israeli government officials have summoned the BBC to explain itself in the past. The "red-handed" false report in question was caught by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA). CAMERA revealed that BBC used an old file photo to depict the alleged bulldozing of the home of the terrorist who slaughtered eight young yeshiva boys in Jerusalem this month. Hours after the attack, Israeli bulldozers destroyed his family home,” reported the BBC – but it was untrue. The home of Ala Abu Dheim continued to stand unharmed, as did the mourning tent in which his family greets people who come to console and congratulate them on his achievement and subsequent ”martyrdom.” That, despite the fact that the Hashemite Kingdom refused to allow the Jordanian branch of the terrorist’s family to erect such a tent or otherwise hold public mourning events for the murderer in their village near Amman. Jordanian officials explained that public mourning in this case would encourage violence, which would in turn constitute a threat to national security More Slanted, False Coverage Another well-documented false and biased BBC report, detected by a Jewish resident of Manchester, England, quoted United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as condemning Israeli attacks on Gazan civilians.. The BBC used the quote several weeks later, out of context, to tie it to a specific IDF attack on Palestinian Authority terrorists in Gaza. The news report in question stated that Israel had deliberately attacked Gaza civilians. In the report, BBC refrained from reporting the intensified attacks on Israeli civilians, in some weeks more than 100 rockets were fired at western Negev communities by terrorists hiding among women and children in Gaza. Israel's counterterrorism operation “Warm Winter” in Gaza came after an eight-year-old Sderot boy lost his left leg in a Kassam attack that almost cost him his life, as well as that of his 19-year-old brother, who was also seriously wounded by the rocket. The collateral damage to civilians in Gaza, noted Israel, was caused by the terrorists who chose to launch their attacks from playgrounds and areas between residential buildings in densely populated civilian areas. The BBC did issue an official statement of apology for both incidents in which the organization had been caught.

This is nothing new! The Bullsh1t Broadcasting Corporation has a long history of anti-semitism and has such uneven coverage on I/P conflict to which the Nazi regime would be proud!

[Chris the Chees]

A long history of anti-semitism? Which would make the Nazi Regime proud? You care to substanciate that claim? I have read Nazi propaganda (translated) from sources such as Der Stürmer, and the BBC produces nothing like that. I find it highly amusing that you post an article accusing the BBC of telling lies, then post an outright one like that.

In addition, the charge that the "Caught Red-Handed on Anti-Israel" bias is an obvious fabrication. The BBC has been shown to have misreported an event, which can lead to numerous conclusions ranging from mere error to the articles conclusions. Hell even in the bias article you produced, there is not a shred of evidence to suggest that the poor reporting was down to some malicious anti-Israeli position on the part of the organisation in general. Indeed to claim, as if it were fact, that this is an example of institutional bias is just as dishonest and bias as they accuse the BBC of being.

OK, I over-dramatized it, but you completely ignored it.

If it is fabrication why did the BBC retract it?

The BBC has always shown its bias on their sleeves. Might be why the Brits always show their Biases on their sleeve also!

Indeed, as opposed to yours, GHook. You want to be racist, feel free...

[Chris the Chees]

What do you not get from this line:

What it says, you pparently get a lot more which can only come from your imagination. The statement says that BBC retracted its position, it does not say that BBC admitted some vast anti-semitic conspiricy. That is an invention of the article.

OK, I over-dramatized it,

That is an understatment.

If it is fabrication why did the BBC retract it?

Because it is untue. But the fact that it is untrue does not necessarily indicate a ubiquitous anti-Israeli attitude on the part of the BBC. The broadcasting of a fallacy could have any number of reasons behind it other that ubiquitous, corporation wide anti-Israeli attitude, inluding that of a simple error. But I already stated this.

The BBC has always shown its bias on their sleeves. Might be why the Brits always show their Biases on their sleeve also!

What a pathetic, xenophobic, hypocritical non-response. I we can all simply assume that you haven't got an argument.

Matt how many times have you stated that the US media is biased, yet when it is shown the the all holy BBC news is biased you come back with personal attacks!

How many times is the daily bombing of Sderot reported in the the BBC? Probably not as many times as the Gaza offensive was mentioned. They probably cried out of the civilians killed in the Gaza offensive, yet they failed to mention that Hamas launches its terrorist missile attacks from civilian neighborhoods, apartment buildings, playground fields. The Hamas cowards specifically bring the fight to civilian areas, so that their will be collateral damages. If they learn anything from the Hezbollah terrorist its that 1 dead of your own civilians is worth more than a 1,000 killed enemy soldiers. Winning the PR battle has become very crucial weapon in the age of the internet and communication. Since the news networks will report only one side of the conflict and distort the other sider and the sheeple will fall into line!

The only 'personal' attack here is your xenophobic one.

GHook, you know, don't you, that the site in your OP, Arutz Sheva, has a bias of its own...religious Zionism (aka the Israeli settler movement)? Before you start preaching about bias to Matt, or slamming BBC bias against Israel, you should first deal with the bias of your own evidence. Since you haven't, pot meet kettle meet black.

I was responding to this...

If you can't post without a generalising racist dig, then that's your lookout. Do carry on, by all means.

This is not about that site. Its about the BBC and its agenda against all of Israel not just the Zionist. Regardless of the where it came from the BBC even acknowledged it! The proof in in the pudding. The BBC has an anti-semitic bias!

[Chris the Chees]

The BBC has an anti-semitic bias!

As you seem so sure, why don't you prove it, or the rest of us are just going to ignore it as nonsense.

There you go bud and this is only today!
BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | Life in the 'open prison' of Gaza
They mention Gaza, but neglect to mention that constant missile attacks are aimed against Sderot. Nothing is said why the measures are taken. It gives a very biased one-sided view of the situation.

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Hamas men 'tortured by Egyptians'
Nothing on how Hamas tortures anyone!

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Gaza's humanitarian crisis
Blaming everything in Gaza on Israel, but not on Hamas. If Scotland consistently bombed and missile attacked England, I doubt the English would sit on their hands and do nothing! So why does the Bullsh1t Broadcasting Corporation expect that of the Jews? Antisemitic doubt-standards.

It also must be noted that you have still failed to provide any single shred of evidence that the BBC is 'anti-semitic'. Even if the BBC were reporting in favour of the Palestinians, which in its self is highly debatable, that does not imply anti-Semitism. You do realise that the Palestinians too, are Semites, don't you?

[shrike]

There is no doubt of the BBC slant.

In its international and domestic news reporting, the corporation has consistently come across as naïve and partial, rather than sensitive and unbiased. Its reporting of Israel and Palestine, in particular, tends to underplay the hate-filled Islamist ideology that inspires Hamas and other factions, while never giving Israel the benefit of the doubt. (Disgracefully, the BBC is still refusing to publish the Balen Report, which it commissioned to investigate allegations of anti-Israel bias.) Terror victims are BBC licence-payers, too - Telegraph

Irrelevant when I say America I usually don't mean Brazil. Anti-Semitism is hatred toward Jews and not to Semites in general
general.But I wouldnt say that BBC editors hate Jews.

[Chris the Chees]

Ah yes, quoting the Telegraph, one of the most bias papers in Britain and with an obvious pro-Israel slant, known to many as the Torygraph because of its blatant bias, on the subject of a direct competitor. I don't even need to read it to know wat it will say.

But I wouldnt say that BBC editors hate Jews.

Of course you don't; the charge is completely ludicrous.

Anti-semitism means hatred towards the Jews! Get your facts straight instead of tossing up an obvious red herring!

Yet you refuse to acknowledge the obvious bias of the Bullsh1t Broadcasting Corporation! Typical!

I suggest you look up the etymology of the term, between slices of humble pie.

Sad when the Beeb mess up about some minor dispute in some far off patch of the planet.

I see BBC is not biased and telegraph is...it make perfect sense.

Yes of course but its defiantly not neutral on I/P conflict.
