The BBC's antisemitism problem

The recent 'discovery' by many of the media that the Labour Party has an anti-Semitism problem has been amusing to those of us who've been pointing this out for some time. 

Some of the best coverage of this issue has been on the isthebbcbiased blog, by both Craig and Sue. 

This piece by Sue 

http://isthebbcbiased.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/the-bbcs-antisemitism-problem.html is well worth a read in full. Here's a key part that explains why the BBC has a similar problem to that of the Labour Party, something that I've also been pointing out for a long time now:

'As the BBC has been demonising Israel for decades, this is hardly surprising, and the BBC should not even think about denouncing antisemitism before it gets its own house in order and pigs fly. 

Just look at the long and sad record of forensic deconstructions of the BBC's anti-Israel reporting by BBC Watch, UK Media Watch, (ITBB,) Camera, Memri, Honest Reporting and countless individual journalists like Douglas Murray and even lefties like Rod Liddle and Dan Hodges. The BBC still has its own way of reporting every single Middle East related incident. Seen 'through Palestinian eyes', every story comes to us from a Palestinian 'human interest' perspective. Israelis are routinely dehumanised or selectively chosen for their anti-government or fanatical religious views.

The BBC's chief Middle East editor has a personal grudge against Israel, Yolande Knell appears to have been a member of Palestine Live and her reports have always been problematic as far as impartiality is concerned.

Coupled with this, the BBC has air-brushed out all references to the antisemitism at the core of Islam and at the very heart of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, which means that Islamic antisemitism is barely acknowledged, particularly in connection with this latest crisis in the Labour party.'

I'd say that Sue has the BBC bang to rights there. Not that the BBC would ever admit to anything that might damage their anti Israel, pro Palestinian, pro Labour Party, anti Brexit narratives.
