Editorial Bear

This is a real chestnut!

I have complained before that the BBC is highly biased and anti-American in it's news and editorial. These are allegations that have been growing in strength, even leading head of BBC News Helen Broaden to make the following statement:

"...we have admitted that we are an organisation of trendy, left-leaning liberals who are anti-American, biased against Christianity, in favour of multiculturalism, and staffed by people who wouldn’t know an unbiased fact if it hit them on the head." Quote taken ENTIRELY OUT OF CONTEXT!

It is interesting to note, however, that the BBC is curiously economical with the facts.

For example, I was doing some research into a post I'm planning about the IRA and the way it's murderous actions have been curiously distorted or omitted in the United States. In doing so, I went to the BBC website and read their very interesting analysis of the Provisional IRA.

You can read it here.

Notice anything remarkable about it? How about the fact that it does not mention ANY of the violent bombings, murders or terrorist actions commited by the Provisional IRA. It's as if they didn't happen. Just a nice, fluffy Freedom Force fighting (non violently) for a united Ireland.

Compare that to the BBC analysis of the UDF/UAA - who they accurately hold responsible for 408 deaths.

Why report casualties caused by one side? But not the other?

The fact is, until September the 11th, the Provisional IRA was the most barbaric terrorist organisation in the world and committed acts which killed over 1,800 people - 621 of whom were civilians.

I think it's VERY telling that the BBC chose to detail the atrocities commited by one side and left out the murders commited by the other. Just further evidence of the bias in the BBC's reporting.
