UK - The BBC's moral compass points south

Rottweiler has the story.

Note: Nazanin is an Iranian girl sentenced to death by hanging for killing one of her would be rapists.

Thus (and as Biased BBC point out), we’re offered scare stories about Israeli sabre-rattling, Jim Muir purring soothingly about the need to keep an ‘objective perspective’ and, of course, John Simpson whining that Britain ought to talk ‘firmly … but not threateningly’ to Iran. No news, though, on whether Simpson thinks that approach might have worked out better for Nazanin than sobbing and throwing herself at the mercy of her judges. In fact, no news from the BBC on Nazanin at all …

… Which, you might think, is kind of strange considering that when it comes to the United States executing a mass-murdering thug, a search for ‘Tookie’ yields one, two, three pages of liberal self-loathing.

And has one commenter put it...

And if you go to the BBC website and search for “Iran execution”, the top three hits are about executions in the US (with 83% relevance). My arse. Grrrrr.

Just file this with the case against the BBC.
