Owen Jones Investigates The BBC’s Pro-Israel Bias |

_How the BBC would have reported on the Battle of Britain:_ "London: Many British people were found dead in their houses this morning. Churchill used citizens as human shields to protect himself. London declared war on Germany on 3rd September 39, and Germany was just defending itself..." Interviewer: "Do you condemn the RAF?"

Owen's report detailed the evidence very well - thanks! Even as a Canadian, for decades I've put a lot of trust in BBC reporting and followed it daily. But soon after that bad day last years, I stopped when I consistently observed with my own eyes the same conclusions made by Owens. I now mostly follow Aljazeera for on the ground reporting and news along with independent journalists such as here.

Thank you for reminding us of the horrors happening in Gaza. The story of that young man with Down's syndrome is heart-wrenching. He must have been terrified and anxious to have been left alone, separated from his family and attacked with brutality. People with Down's syndrome are gentle and sensitive, and I am deeply saddened that he underwent such torture without a shred of empathy. I hope his family find peace and cherish his memory. When will this senseless violence end?

[@GeoffV-k1h]

The clear bias of the BBC (and other UK-based MSM) towards Israel's side in the war, whilst downplaying the coverage of the sheer scale of the slaughter and its clearly deliberate nature has truly shocked me. Great work by OJ.

Ive got to say, i admire owen jones for his tenacity and all without any institutional machinery to hide behind. I can't think of a more criticised and hated journalist in the uk for simply having humanist empathetic ethics (he's litteraly been assaulted). Somone like fiona Bruce has abhorrent out of touch views on the poor, the north and immigrants, but she lives a comfortable protected life being paid outrageous sums of money for the most sub standard presenting and chairing ive ever seen.

[@YvetteWilliams-dx2kk]

Fiona Bruce is a very biased lady.

[@ramasking31]

What really shocked me regarding biased coverage of the z Israel genocide was the fact that where as Israel’s rebuttal was covered live in full by the BBC (which the Israeli representatives instead of rebutting the charges on a legal basis, the Israeli representatives used their rebuttal of the charges to publish propoganda that consisted of mud slinging untruths about South Africa’s motives rather than addressing pertinent legal issues to address the charges). Where as the Douth Africa’s legal team’s accusations and evidence was not aired whatsoever be BBC. Shocking!

Truth! I checked BBC for its' South Africa coverage in the ICJ. Mostly NOTHING!!

Owen makes a key point about 14 mins in - there are always individual, somewhat scattered accounts in the media of the horrors taking place at the hands of Israel, however, the overall narrative - one that makes sense and the purpose of those horrors apparent -- is not offered. The listener/viewer is very much on thier own in piecing together a cohesive understanding. This is not how the BBC should work. Its as if a certain quota of truth is allowed, one that can act as a sop/safety valve to our anger and frustration.
