Interesting , apparently it has a slightly pro-Israeli bias .
Read some of the talk-back comments at the bottom , some quite funny rants down there .

Hilarious isn't it .
I wonder if the people making some of those talk-back comments realise the irony of their hypocracy :laugh4:

The BBC hates Jews, Tribesman, just deal with it. There is a secret anti-Jewish conspiracy at work in the media, finance, international relations, and so on. All this "evidence" that the BBC does not hate Jews just shows how devilishly clever they are in concealing the conspiracy.

Hmm. Sounds familiar.

So is Tribesman trying to be slick again? What's with the title?


Any impartiality in the network's reporting tends to be pro-Israeli rather than pro-Palestinian, an independent commission appointed to investigate allegations of bias against the BBC concluded.

Its a simple title Vlad .
Lobby groups made lots of allegations of a bias and had quite a letter writing campaign going to complain of the bias , so there was an inquiry into the alledged bias and they released the findings .
"The report of the inquiry into allegations of anti-Israeli bias within the British Boadcasting Corporation has been released" would be a better title , but its a bit long don't you think ?

If you read the talk-back on the link , and here is the slick part , you will find that lots of people who don't like the findings of the inquiry are really really biased , and it seems that many of them have neither read it , nor know who made the report .
Plus as a bonus you can get to read some really strange ideas , like that Wiliam Joyce was actually working for the BBC in Berlin , not the Nazis , or that if the BBC or the Guardian had existed in the '30s and '40s they would have been backing Hitler , which not only shows some mindless bias , it shows a clear absence of any historical knowledge at all .

And for more fun , take E. A's ...Hmm. Sounds familiar....and lookup Alan Yentob on a simple search , and the chances are you will find lots of mindless rants claiming that the BBC is part of the zionist conspiracy to control the media and let the Jews take over the world .

So in summary , if the BBC gets complaints about bias from the Israelis , the arabs , the Nazis , the communists , the nationalists , leftists , rightists ,the anarchists and just about any other group you can think of , then it means that actually it isn't doing a bad job at all .
Because if it was being biased against one group then the opposing group wouldn't be claiming it was biased against them as well , would they .

Now that reminds me of something...
