BBC - bias by omission

Hot on the heels of my earlier post BBC - An Abuse of Media Power comes this post from Biased BBC.

This is an example of how the BBC can be biased by simply just not reporting the facts.

To: Orla Guerin and Barbara Plett

From: Truthlovers Everywhere

RE: Unreported tsunami news

It has come to our
attention that the tiny state of Israel is doing yeoman's work in the tsunami disaster effort. Unfortunately, very few people would have heard this, for you have not reported it! You and your colleagues received a press release (Dec 27) to this effect. Where are your reports? This is not looking good.

Ms Guerin, since you are a lover of truth, please note the following points from a website you are sure to
love.

Be sure the read the whole thing.

Why did Biased BBC single out Orla Guerin and Barbara Plett? Well, the answer for Plett is here.

The Telegraph reports how the BBC was swamped with complaints about its' Middle East correspondent, Barbara Plett's on air admission that she cried when Arafat left for France.

"When the helicopter carrying the frail old man rose above his ruined compound, I started to cry . . . without warning," she said.

And she is a reporter for the BBC.

Want more proof of the biased reporters at the BBC? Ok.

Check out what Hannah Bayman has to say on her blog about Bush.

Hannah even gleefully reminds us to tune into "BBC Radio Two and you will hear the delightful former royal correspondent Jenny Bond describe Bush as "looking like a chimp and talking like a baboon".

UPDATE

Hannah Bayman deleted her post about Bush cited above. Go here and read what this BBC reporter said.

...instead of a warmongering, oil-grubbing, vote-rigging, drink-driving - haven't you seen Fahrenheit 9/11? - weapons-of-mass-destruction-buying, Kyoto-smashing, bible-bashing, chimp.


So, BBC reporters get their information from movies like Fahrenheit 9/11, now.

What a corrupt and disgraceful organization the BBC has become. It is worse than that, it is a poisonous propaganda machine that needs to be stopped.
