2. Whereas the Telegraph, The Sun love Israel.
(04.26.13)
3. I AGREE
Sam Sweiry ,   Eastbourne - UK   (04.26.13)
we always knew that - here in the UK - this is nothing NEW - just a reconfirmation to what already we know - Shame on the BBC - If I can, I wouldnt pay a penny toward my TV Licence here in the UK - But the law say I must, so I have no choice in the matter
4. Poll: "20% of British Jews are plain supid".
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.26.13)
5. Al Jabeeba love the name
Emma ,   London   (04.26.13)
Or the PBC (the Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation) and Jeremy Bowen is the Abbas' spokesman.
6. Barkat
(04.26.13)
The best was an interview with Barkat. The worst Barak, Yalon, Meridor : they say Israel "needs" Jerusalem for security--what a stypid idea. The generals should NEVER be ministers of diffence, especially when they are in bisiness of making money like Barak.
7. BBC is in good company as being an anti-Israel news and...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.26.13)
...commentary organization. It, together with the Guardian, the Independent, the New Statesman and even with the London Review of Books has been the main platform to spew baseless hate toward the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people, and by extension, toward the people whose nation-state Israel is: the Jewish people. A short-cut journalistic expression for this role is simple: racism, anti-Jewish racism at that.
8. BBCs Insidious Culture of News Bias
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.26.13)
Still it seems run by faceless people with a political axe to grind and making the Word BBC INTERNATIONALLY SYNONOMOUS with BIAS AND MISREPRESENTATION BUT no more can the BBC feel safe and sound in getting away with these practices.. Now ALL LEGITIMATE AND PROVEN examples of BBC false reporting, false or doctored imagery, deliberate misrepresentation, biased interviewing etc when it comes to Israel are posted via Social Media for the whole world to see... We don't want BBC bias FOR Israel..All we want factual honest reporting about events and leave us the public make up our own minds
9. Times...
John ,   Herzliya   (04.26.13)
Times when BBC was respected for its reporting are long gone. I don't even listen or watch them anymore because I know that they will support Pallywood no matter what.
10. The BBC, SKYNews, CNN are all the same.
David ,   Israel   (04.26.13)
All pro-Arab and anti-Israel. However, in mitigation, the BBC World News Channel aired an excellent and objective documentary showing both side of the divide including interviews with MK Tzippi Hotovely (Likud) settlers and "moderate Arabs! One of the problems is that Israel does not have an international news channel and by the time that the three Israeli channels show an international event, very often involving Jews and Israel, its old news. The world can blow up but we dare not interrupt a cooking program, mickey mouse or some kids singing to air important news!
11. Biased Broadcasting Co.
Israeli grandma   (04.26.13)
SKY website often gives a balanced report of what is going on in our part of the world. Especially their top journalist who knows his stuff - Tim Marshal. Now they have got rid of Dominic Waghorn to America, we are only lumbered with Sam Kiley, who sexes up his reports "from Jerusalem" by regurgitating PA propaganda in the BBC's traditional manner. Many people have sent letteers of complaint about his gross bias. Oh, and I must give a good word for BBC senior reporter Lys Doucett, she does her best to be even-handed.
12. BOYCOTT BIGOTED BBC
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (04.26.13)
Anyone here ever heard of FOX NEWS???? The BBC, NBC, CNN, CBS etc. have a pro muslim pro obama agenda and almost zero viewers. Best way to shut them down is NOT to watch them, ever.Viewership is EVERYTHING with network news and viewers.
13. "Believe"??? It's a belief it's a FACT!!
Rotem ,   Israel   (04.26.13)
Just enter the BBC website and see for yourself. BTW, Jerusalem according to their website, is a TEMPORARY capitol of Israel, etc. "Believe" ...
14. This is like saying that UK Jews believe that 2+2 = 4.
Mlladen Andrijasevic ,   Be'er Sheva, Israel   (04.26.13)
15. #13 No it doesnt say temporary capital
Solomon   (04.26.13)
if so, share they link. I read it and it doesnt say this. Why lie?
16. BBC
Get Real ,   UK   (04.27.13)
The BBC is unbalanced and biased in its reporting of Israeli-Palestinian news. Its reports have subtle innuendos against Israel and are pro-Palestinian. This may be due to the staff it employs on its Arab-Middle East desks and to the make-up of its UK and overseas audiences. It should never be used as the sole source of info on Israel; even AL-J can be more balanced. As for the 88% I expect they tune in to a variety of other (non-Israel) programmes. Regarding the Guardian it always manages to find an anti-Israeli article to print even when there is no news of any significance fron Israel.
17. It's not about the BBC 'supporting' Israel...
Adam ,   Ramat Gan   (04.27.13)
...it's about correct and fair journalism. Not false reporting about conflicts like Gaza, stating that Israel killed x number of children, only to be rescinded 5 months later after the UN investigates. By that time it doesn't matter and emotions are no longer running high. Don't give in to Pallywood and Pallyspin BBC. Sack Jeremy Bowen, the king of terrorist sympathisers.
18. BBC is crafty
Raoul ,   Herzliya. Israel.   (04.28.13)
It's very often what they DON'T say that speaks volumes about their bias against Israel.
19. you mean we don't OWN the bbc???
(04.28.13)
so much for Jewish 'media manipulation'
20. Is the pope catholic? OF COURSE THEY'RE BIASED
(04.28.13)
BIA$ED IN HEAP$ OF I$LAMO-FA$CI$T PETRO-DOLLAR$
