BBC bias again?

How does the anti Palestine stance of the BBC tie in with them broadcasting live "death to the IDF" chants?

They've now edited it out as though it didn't happen, like Eric Blair said they did.

About par for the course, even the wording of the attack is as neutral as you could get under the circumstances

What's unbalanced about that? I'm guessing that's taken from the list of most-read stories on the BBC at that particular time? If so, it appears more people happened to be reading the Glastonbury story than the Gaza one. So what? The BBC can't dictate which stories people should read.

Or do you think the headlines are somehow unbalanced? The criminal investigation is an established fact, which the BBC will have corroborated with the police so the headline is fair. The difficulty in obtaining accurate information from Gaza is well documented, so the BBC are having to rely on information provided to them from other sources ie they can't corroborate it as 100% accurate. Here again the headline is fair.

Headline 1: police will investigate whether a crime was committed by a couple of bands.

Headline 2: criminal acts by Israeli forces on civilians is just an every day occurrence now.

If you read my previous post, I've made the point that this isn't the BBC putting stories in order of what THEY think is most important. The stories are ordered in terms of how many people have chosen to read them.

I note that that at present the most read story (ie the one in the No 1 spot) is the one about the dad jumping off a cruise ship to save his daughter.

Yeah, just what Hibspur saild. They’re from the list of top ten most read stories on the BBC website. The list constantly updates throughout the day.

Here’s the current top 5. Sorry, I don’t know how to paste an actual pic of it.

Most read
1
Three ex-bosses of Lucy Letby arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter
2
Father jumps off Disney cruise ship to save daughter who fell overboard
3
Chief rabbi attacks BBC for airing 'vile Jew hate' at Glastonbury
4
Thai prime minister suspended over leaked phone call
5
Is RFK Jr's divisive plan to Make America Healthy Again fearmongering - or revolutionary?

It's not about most read stories on a website.

It's about the perception of crime. Police investigate whether a couple of bands at Glastonbury committed crimes through their words and actions or just another murderous day in Gaza where yet more innocent people are killed by foreign soldiers occupying their land.

You might be offended by what was said at Glastonbury but the whole world is offended by the murders of innocent Palestinians.

I don't have a strong view on the alleged BBC bias from either side, but the BBC didn't know they were going to make that chant, so I don't really see it as evidence of 'impartiality' or whatever.

As soon as they were made aware of it, they pulled the videos from iPlayer (which I personally think is fair enough)

This is actually mental.

They were broadcasting a live event, they didn't know what was going to happen, it was live.

Can you, or someone, anyone please, explain to me why they should stop broadcasting a live event because of what's being sung on a music festival stage?

If they were worried about anything like that happening, a 2 minute delay in broadcast would've worked.

Yeah that works, I'm sure there's a delay in live radio broadcasts but it's not really my point.

My point is why should they stop a live broadcast, it's a real live event.

Isn't it their job to show what's actually happening, not some edited version?

Not broadcasting Netenyahu's speech to the Israeli nation urging them to kill every Palestinian is more in line with that bias. But you continue to ignore that.

Interesting article from a former BBC Journalist.

Caution has turned to cowardice – the BBC is failing viewers with its Gaza coverage (from The Guardian)

It will be interesting to see what the BBC were afraid to let the public see.

BBC journalists send letter to Director General complaining about bbc bias. Very interesting listen particularly Sir Robbie Gibbs role within the organisation. Absolutely scandalous it really is. Say again when top reporters like Maitlis and Sopel are leaving the organisation due to interference in their work you are in a dark place.

Netanyahu is not the only one making statements along the same lines. If the BBC have broadcast or reported them I have missed them.
