BBC bias

Lesley Denny 5 Jan 2003

Tonight's BBC1 News at 10,30pm reporting the latest suicide bombing in Israel had the most offensive personal comment from their reporter Orla Guerin, not exactly known for her sensitivity.
Having given the number of Israeli victims, she then added 'But the number of Palestinian dead is never-ending' thanks to the Israelis!

My family and I were deeply shocked and offended by this vile attempt to equate armed terrorists killed in a gun battle with innocent men, women and children blown to pieces by fanatical suicide bombers. For months this reporter has produced biased and highly offensive copy slanted to present a false picture of events in favour of Palestinian terrorism. She is the Tokyo Rose of the terrorist cause, causing great distress and grief to many British viewers who have relatives and friends in Israel.

It is quite unacceptable that the BBC should be lending support to Islamic terrorism on the eve of a war. This bias must end. Not only is it racist but wildly inaccurate, as anyone capable of using the Net can discover for themselves.
