The propaganada war against Israel that is waged by the BBC and The Guardian

Two articles caught my eye today one regarding the BBC and one regarding The Guardian bot both relating to these news organisations coverage of events in and around Israel. Since I normally report on matters BBC I will give first place in this article to The Guardian. Michael White, writing in The Guardian,  who admits that:

'I have always sensed liberal, middle class ill-ease in going after stories about immigration, legal or otherwise, about welfare fraud or the less attractive tribal habits of the working class, which is more easily ignored altogether.

Toffs, including royal ones, Christians, especially popes, governments of Israel, and US Republicans are more straightforward targets.'

You would not expect a similar mea culpa from the BBC and you would be right. Instead the article comes from JPost and examines the BBC's special status amongst British media and especially with regard to Israel:

'The BBC realized it was getting the Middle East story badly wrong a few years ago when it received a flood of complaints. In response it hired Malcolm Balen to study its reporting on the Middle East and to issue an internal report. Balen’s appointment was used to deflect criticism; however, the BBC refused to make his report public. Indeed it has spent an estimated £300,000 opposing a freedom-of-information request to reveal the Balen report. Despite the BBC losing in the House of Lords, England’s highest court, the report remains locked up because the BBC has started a new legal defense, which it kept in reserve in case it lost its first defense. This is a well-tried ploy by the BBC, which can expect to out-spend its litigation opponents. Here it is forcing the entire claim to be run again, ab initio.

...

Many independent studies – including my own at bbcwatch – show that the BBC fails to fulfill its legal obligation to be accurate, balanced and truthful. The BBC has been found broadly to follow the trends in soft Left thinking – anti-business, anti-religion, anti- America, pro-Europe and, of course, anti-Israel. These views are hardwired into the institution.'
