The BBC roll call of reporters full of anti-Israel animus includes John Simpson, Jeremy Bowen, Lyse Doucet, Orla Guerin, and Yolande Knell. And that animus can be found, too, among its interviewers. Pride of place must be given to one Steven Sackur, whose recent bullying of Israeli spokesman Mark Regev — Regev kept his cool under the most intolerable of verbal assaults by Sackur — deserves to be better known. The next time you want to offer an example of BBC bias, simply point to Sackur’s performance here.

Former BBC employees run Al Jazeera which receives generous funding from its Jihadi owners, the lowly Qatari royals. Al Jazeera has more money than BBC from a bankrupt country. As a result, the Qatari jihadi tail is wagging the worn out British bull dog and spouting anti Israeli and anti Indian propaganda unfailingly.

Are you suggesting that UK is a bankrupt country? The Uk is more financially sound than several EU countries, including Germany and France the two leading EU states. Get your facts straight. However back to the interview. Actually for Sacher it was not that bad and I have watched him in the past, he has big ego! Apart from his lack of background facts and talking over Rever’s answers. An unfortunate trait of many TV interviewers. He stubbornly stuck to his use of Hamas figures, knowing full well that terrorists are well known liars.
Mark Rever was brilliant and kept his cool, answering every point Sacher shot at him. Biden’s remark about indiscriminate bombing was simply stupid, but then that is JB.

Broadcasting organisations such as the BBC, the ABC, based on the BBC here in Australia, are naturally magnets for left wing shitheads who know that, if they work in such places, they will have a cosy life among their fellow left wing wankers pushing their leftist propaganda. Here in Australia, the ABC is often called a sheltered workshop for left wing wankers. Any conservative there would be treated as a leper. They are a poisonous propaganda outfit and would never tell the truth on any issue.

Very restrained comment Tim. However the ABC did the right thing for once and sacked a media cretin who disobeyed instructions, Antoinette Lattouf.
She is now suing them on the basis of racism etc and glorifying and inflating her case and self-importance in the manner of the best howling Hamas hysteric.
Her supporters are currently vilifying, demonising and doxxing a group of Jewish women lawyers who, as Australian citizens, complained to the ABC about Lattouf’s conduct.
tim gallagher says
I have seen a bit of discussion about the Lattouf issue, carpediadem. She disobeyed some directive and got fired which was great But, of course, since, as I keep hearing, the staff collective run the ABC (kind of Soviet style) and so now they are threatening the management because they got rid of this piece of crap, Lattouf. The ABC have a charter, as i keep hearing, where they are supposed to give a balanced view on issues but they simply ignore it and the real problem is that no government ever takes them on. It has become a far left, continually bash up evil old Australia type of broadcaster. I think its ratings keep dropping. Maybe even left wing people who get their news from the ABC, including some of my left wing siblings, have had enough of the present day ABC’s far left bias. Years ago, the ABC did employ a few fairly conservative types such as Sarah Henderson, now a Liberal in federal Parlaiemnt, and Prue Goward. But I imagine all conservatives would soon leave such a nest of hostile left wing fascists. I would love to see it shut down. i guess it will never happen. It really is a cosy place where far left wankers all work together pushing their destructive leftist view of the world on all issues. Whether the BBC or the ABC, these types of broadcasters do all seem to end up the same.
Tony Rice says
The interviewers on Tv are too big for their boots, about time they were brought down to size by those they interview. The interviewers are most rude, constantly interrupting and demanding. If I were being interviewed I would start by saying ” if you interrupt, you will end up interviewing yourself “. Cut them down to size, embarrass them in front of their audience.

The once great BBC is now an activist Leftist islam-o-pandering propaganda outlet.

I believe that the BBC elite in their plush licence-fee-funded boardroom have lined up a muslim as their next Director General – after filling far too many of the top jobs with self-serving, self-interested ethnic minorities, especially muslims, who are about as ‘British’ as Genghis Khan. It’s safe to say that if the BBC ever represented the genuine ‘British’ people and genuine ‘British’ values, that stopped years ago; to call this obsolete dinosaur a ‘British’ Broadcasting Corporation is a complete and utter joke.
James Lincoln says
Jayell1,
Thanks for your reply and added info.
