  • BBC on the Rack

    So Trump suddenly threatens to sue the BBC for $1 billion for a misleading splice-up of video clips broadcast over a year ago. A BBC news editor — Raffi Berg — is suing journalist Owen Jones for exposing his biased judgement in reporting Gaza war news. And two top knobs at the BBC, Director-General Tim […]

  • Inversion of Reality

    George Orwell at the BBC The resignations of Tim Davie, BBC director general, and Deborah Turness, BBC head of news, after an intense, right-wing campaign led by the Daily Telegraph reveals much about the state of British ‘mainstream’ media. Before we discuss the latest scandal, consider first some relevant facts about BBC coverage of the […]

  • The BBC’s Foolish Gift to Donald Trump

    It began with a revelation in The Telegraph on November 3. The paper had seen an internal memo in the BBC pointing to editing on its October 2024 Panorama programme of two parts of US President Donald Trump’s speech in January 2021. The sin was not in the editing but its liberal manner, suggesting that […]

  • BBC isn’t Failing. Its Job is to Obscure the UK’s Partnership in Israel’s Genocide

    BBC isn’t Failing. Its Job is to Obscure the UK’s Partnership in Israel’s Genocide

    After months of a confected furore over a BBC documentary supposedly demonstrating pro-Hamas bias, followed by the shelving of a second film on Gaza, an independent review found last week that the broadcaster had not breached impartiality guidelines. A long list of complaints against Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone – all pushed for months […]

  • Genocide in Gaza: The BBC’s Self-Inflicted “Trust Crisis”

    Genocide in Gaza: The BBC’s Self-Inflicted “Trust Crisis”

    BBC News regularly proclaims its supposed editorial principles of fearless, independent, impartial, fair and accurate journalism. In a January 2023 speech to the Whitehall & Industry Group in London, then BBC Chairman Richard Sharp boasted that BBC journalism is the ‘global gold standard’ of credible news reporting. Two years previously, in 2021, the public broadcaster […]

  • BBC Credibility Nosedives Even Further

    The BBC’s withdrawal of the powerful documentary, ‘Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone’, epitomises how much the UK’s national broadcaster is beholden to the Israel lobby. The corporation’s longstanding systematic protection of Israel, considered an ‘apartheid regime’ by major human rights organisations, has been particularly glaring since the country launched its genocidal attacks on Gaza […]

  • How the war on Gaza exposed Israeli and western fascism

    How the war on Gaza exposed Israeli and western fascism

    Nearly a year into the world’s first live-streamed genocide – which began in Gaza, and is rapidly expanding into the occupied West Bank – the establishment western media still avoid using the term “genocide” to describe Israel’s rampage of destruction. The worse the genocide gets, the longer Israel’s starvation-blockade of the enclave continues, the harder it […]

  • “Aligned With Israel’s Propaganda Strategy”: BBC Correspondent Challenges the BBC Director General

    “Aligned With Israel’s Propaganda Strategy”: BBC Correspondent Challenges the BBC Director General

    Last November, we reported on an incisive and courageous email that had been sent on 24 October 2023 to Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director General, by Rami Ruhayem, a Beirut-based BBC correspondent. Basing his arguments on considerable evidence and rational analysis, Ruhayem was highly critical of the BBC’s pro-Israel coverage of Gaza since the Hamas […]

  • Did The West Provoke The Ukraine War? Sorry, That Question Has Been Cancelled

    Did The West Provoke The Ukraine War? Sorry, That Question Has Been Cancelled

    Is it possible for an entire ‘mainstream’ media system – every newspaper, website, TV channel – to completely suppress one side of a crucial argument without anyone expressing outrage, or even noticing? Consider the following. In February 2022, Nigel Farage, former and future leader of the Reform UK party, tweeted that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine […]

  • “Extremely Harrowing”: British Surgeon’s Gaza Testimony Buried By The “MSM”

    “Extremely Harrowing”: British Surgeon’s Gaza Testimony Buried By The “MSM”

    Propaganda by omission is a dominant feature of the ‘mainstream’ news media. Indeed, it is a requirement. Rather than serving the public interest by fully exposing the brutal machinations of power, state-corporate media shield Western governments and their allies from scrutiny and focus the public’s attention on the crimes of Official Enemies. Israel’s genocidal attack […]
