BBC is Sick to the Core

• Views: 1,106

There’s no other way to say it; the BBC makes me sick.

In this article about Colin Powell’s visit to Israel—Powell warns Mid-East militants—you’ll find a sidebar summary of events titled “Roadmap’s Path to Crisis” that is so blatantly biased it’s just nauseating. (Hat tip: Model4.)

4 June: US-Jordanian-Israeli summit in Aqaba
8 June: Palestinian militant groups reject roadmap
10 June: Israel tries to kill Hamas leader Abdel-Aziz al-Rantissi
11 June: 16 die in suicide attack on Jerusalem bus
19 June: Jewish settlers clash with Israeli troops dismantling a West Bank outpost

No mention of the Palestinian shootings that killed a 7-year old girl and others, no mention of the suicide bomber that destroyed a grocery, no mention of the sneak attack on Israeli soldiers—but prominent coverage of Jewish settlers in a scuffle with police. The article devotes its entire second half to the incident, but doesn’t have a single word about Rantisi’s hateful comments about Colin Powell.

I have a feeling if they could have found a way to justify ignoring the Jerusalem bus bombing, that wouldn’t have been mentioned either.

UPDATE: LGF reader Colt makes a good point about the sidebar quoted above:

Note that Israel tries to kill Rantissi, but the 16 on the bus just die, and the group responsible is not worthy of mention.
