Iran - BBC behind Iran's propaganda channel?

Of course.

"Press TV's website took a more forthrightly partisan approach, emulating the design of the BBC News site to an almost spooky degree, but with material to make the BBC blanch. A story about the attempted attacks on London and Glasgow airport, headlined More threadbare propaganda from the west, was a perfectly serviceable account of recent events - until the final paragraphs, where the reporter suggested they were staged by the UK government, in order to tarnish the image of Muslims enraged by the knighting of Salman Rushdie."

The BBC would say that exactly here in the UK if it thought it could get away with it. Since they can't, the BBC use the back door to spread their propaganda.

"Mohammad Sarafraz, head of the new channel, said most of Press TV's 30 journalists were non-Iranians, and included many Britons as well as Americans. The channel will have correspondents in London, New York, Washington, Beirut, Damascus, Moscow and several other European capitals, as well as three correspondents covering the Israel-Palestine conflict from Gaza, Ramallah and Jerusalem. Mr Sarafraz said training had been provided by a BBC employee."

Wonder who the BBC employee is? So, our tax money is funding an Iranian propaganda television station and website.

And the circle is complete BBC hires editor-in-chief of al Jazeera to train its reporters. Only fitting, since al Jazeera was founded by BBC journalists.
