How biased against Israel is the British Broadcasting Company (BBC)?
The above link is to investigative reporter David Collier’s article, which provides massive factual evidence of this bias.
I’ll show you excerpts for just one part of Mr. Collier’s exposé:
BBC News published the latest findings from their ‘fact-checking’ flagship ‘BBC Verify’ – looking at the 100+ deaths that occurred during the chaos surrounding the aid convoy in Gaza.
BBC launched BBC Verify last year – a unit comprising of 60 journalists to help fact-check, verify video, and counter disinformation. Intended to be a gold standard in the age of fake news, BBC Verify has just ended up being another obsessive anti-Israel propaganda outfit.
While BBC Verify do not actually come to any conclusions over the aid convoy deaths, the piece is heavily slanted to blame the Israeli army for the deaths.
This latest ‘fact checking’ story rested heavily on one key eyewitness – a Palestinian journalist called Mahmoud Awadeyah. This is what he told the BBC:
Mahmoud Al Awadeyah… works for Al Quds Today and the Tasnim News Agency. Tasnim is an Iranian news agency set up and controlled by the IRGC.
Perhaps the pro-IRGC affiliation explains why his likes on the ‘X’ platform include a post about Hamas honouring the IRGC commander Qasem Soleimani.
But the problem goes way beyond liking posts. On 27 January 2023, as seven Israelis lay dead following a terror attack outside of a synagogue – Awadeyah posted these celebrations on Facebook:
This is the key BBC source to determine what happened in Gaza? This is supposed to provide an unbiased assessment?
mahmoud al awadeyah reporting on what happened at the Gaza aid convoy is roughly equivalent to vladimir putin’s press secretary reporting on the fighting in Ukraine.
When supposedly neutral news sources instead become indoctrination centers, this is what you get. This is what has become of the BBC.
It is also what has become of much our our domestic mainstream media.
And it is what Israel has to deal with – to somehow try to overcome – every day.
Success in this regard is near-impossible. That is sad for journalism…but far sadder for what it does to Israel.
