There has been no pretence (and it always was a pretence) of impartiality for quite some time. However, they still try to pass themselves off as the gold standard of journalism which is a bit rich considering. They should just be the Fox News of the middle class UK since that is all they deliver now.Magda Hassan Wrote:I'm not. The BBC head is very pro Israel. Their coverage of the Israeli attack on Gaza a couple of years ago was simply the worst of journalism.
Agreed Magda, but to be so blatantly biased as shown in these videos did surprise me a little bit. It's not even thinly veiled.
They basically have a bunch of Mossad and IDF spokesman telling us about the "Iranian threat", followed by some random clips with the narrator saying Israel was justified in asassinating Iranian nuclear scientists in broad daylight.
