Viewing a BBC broadcast from Iraq while out of town, it struck me how biased these people are. They seemed to be reporting only the negative stories they could find, like the Baghdad zoo or the looted museum.
It reminded me of a BBC report from Jenin about an Israeli "massacre" in Jenin.
I looked up the report. Here is a professor on sight in Jenin stateing that, although no bodies have been found, there is growing evidense of a massacre. Here are his quotes:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/1937048.stm"I must say that the evidence before us at the moment doesn't lead us to believe that the allegations are anything other than truthful and that therefore there are large numbers of civilian dead underneath these bulldozed and bombed ruins that we see."
Evidence? No evidence other than that the allegations are true. What fine reporting.
Derrick Pounder: Evidence of a massacre
He said: "The truth will come out, as it has come out in Bosnia and Kosovo, as it has in other places where we've had these kinds of allegations."
Yeah, the truth came out alright, but not the truth this guy wanted.
He said post mortems on two bodies had "given cause for suspicion" and there was "extensive damage" to Jenin.
well there you have it, BBC at it's best. Post motemem on 2 bodies is positive proof of a massacre and "extensive damage to Jenin" ....that's a given.
BBC is not biased in any way.[URL]
