There is so much documentation on the ongoing bias exhibited by the BBC that it is hard to find a reasonable summary. I also made an effort to find an article written by a party who can not be accused of starting from a prejudicial position; i.e. a site or individual focusing on the partisan defense of Israel. Here is an essay by David Frum on the topic of institutionalized anti-Israel bias at the BBC.

Additionally, you might remember the so-called Balen Report on the issue of BBC’s reporting bias. Interestingly, the BBC have spent GPP200,000 in legal fees to keep the report under wraps. The BBC has itself posted on this extraordinary effort by a news organization to suppress information. One might reasonably, based on the alleged facts of the BBC’s demonstrated bias (which after all gave rise to a full fledged investigation), draw some conclusions as to why it is so important to the BBC to suppress the Balen Report.

But in the end, to simply dismiss a discussion of BBC bias as a ‘hysterical idiotic rant’ misses the mark by a mile.
