The BBC and Israel

Just a quick post; I was listening to the Radio 4 Today programme yesterday morning and there was a piece about Israel and peace talks (I think with Barack Obama's administration, I was quite tired and angry at the time) and the reporter managed to sneer "right wing" as a description of Benjamin Netanyahu several times.

Two things struck me; first do the BBC ever describe Hugo Chavez and his ilk as left-wing and second why do the BBC try so hard to pronounce Ahmadinejad so correctly but not Binyamin Netanyahu?

The BBC - sneering at anyone not of the left and only respecting those on the left.
