Whose side is the BBC on?

First they accuse the US of killing an innocent French citizen who turns out to be a Tunisian Terrorist.

Next the BBC, referring to terrorists at Guantanamo, runs this headline: Ex-US detainees 'resume fighting'. The BBC prefers detainees over terrorist seemingly because the BBC are clueless as to their motives.

What the precise motivations were of those detainees who have returned to fighting is not clear.

Earth to BBC, it is called Jihad.

Then we get this stunning revelation from the Beeb, Mid-East 'drifting towards chaos'

Here, I guess, is the stable Mid-East the Beeb feels the Mid-East is drifting away from.

Since the start of the latest intifada, or uprising, in September 2000, some 3,839 Palestinians and 979 Israelis had been killed, said Mr Prendergast, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs

And an estimated 36,000 Palestinians and 6,297 Israelis had been wounded.

The BBC isn't done yet.

Since the BBC feels the Israeli-Palestinian conflict represent the entire Middle East, a nuclear capable Iran is ok.

But Iran has been quite categorical about saying it will not stop its uranium enrichment, only suspend it, and only under certain conditions.

This view is strongly endorsed by many ordinary Iranians, irrespective of their allegiance to the regime.

Really? How many? Can of hard to tell in a totalitarian regime, isn't it?

Here the BBC quote a 22 year old student:

She makes little distinction between nuclear power and nuclear weapons, but says the outside world can be sure that Iran will never use atomic weapons first.

Well, gee I feel better already and seemingly the BBC does as well.

"I want to tell outsiders not to think that young people today are different from young people in the early days of the revolution just because some Western culture has been penetrating into the country," she says.

How does she explain all the student unrest and protests then?

Our hapless BBC reporter blunders onward.

Mehdi Mahmood, a 24-year-old member of the basiji or Islamic volunteer forces attached to the mosques, says: "Imagine you're in a classroom and a teacher walks in and distributes books to everybody but you. How would you feel? You feel isolated - you feel discriminated against."

Books equals nuclear weapons? Riiiiight.

Are you getting the feeling that the BBC are, well, ABSOLUTELY CLUELESS? No? Read this.

From reformers to hardliners, supporters or opponents of the Islamic system, there are few voices against Iran seeking nuclear technology. There are no Greenpeace-style activists in Iran questioning the country's rapid drive towards nuclear fuel.

No shit Sherlock!!! Anyone who disagrees dies or goes to jail.

Reporters without boarders reports on the crackdown on Journalist in Iran.

The five journalists are accused of contributing to reformist news websites. In the past few months, the regime has also tightened Net filtering, blocking access to several dozen online publications and political weblogs.

In a country where television, radio and newspapers are heavily censored, the Internet is, despite censorship, the only source of independent news and information.

I'd like to direct the BBC's attention and yours, to at least one Iranian blogger. There are many more but here is a good one to get you started.

I live in the UK and have to pay the BBC tax to fund this nonsense. I truly feel sorry for anyone who relies on the BBC for news. You are getting a corrupt and distorted view of the world.

I'll ask again, whose side is the BBC on? I think the answer is all too clear.
