Reddit reviews Bad News From Israel

I'm off my mobile now.

Now to be fair, if we're critisizing things as being "a blog post without any detail" let's see how that wikipedia article backs-up its claim.

Oh...

Are we allowing that?

A whole page of it for BBC...

Here is a better Wings Over Scotland article with more detail:

And a followup after their pithy response.

Likewise here is a better media lens link which deals with Andre Marr reporting for the BBC:

You may not be ideologically inclined with either of these websites. But their source data are always accurate or from legitimate sources (in so far as they don't make up any statements or claims).

Without my university credentials decent academic sources can be tricky so this is a bit from memory:

Here's a book from the academically acclaimed GUMG which deals with BBC and ITN bias, long time since I looked at it though:

This looks quiet promising as well:

The fact of the matter is, news bias or slack reporting is one of those areas which are pretty well addressed in blogs or columns. Fawning praise is pretty easy to spot likewise false claims and lies unscrutinized are also very clear with hindsight.

If you remain unconvinced that the BBC has issues with bias there's still plenty more places to look. Most courses wouldn't even deal with the idea of something being free from bias, only the nature and extent of it. With the BBC it is endemic and it neuters their standards of reporting state claims.

short version- Israel is doomed to die for it's usa funded genocide of the arabs in a land that has traditionally been 90% arab.

But if you want the long version-

"Greg Philo, Professor of Communications at Glasgow University, carried out a three year study into the relationship between television and the construction of public knowledge - how we understand foreign events etc. What he found was that 80% rely mainly on TV news, and that people (esp. young people) were very confused about events."
