Syrian anchor resigns after BBC's 'biased' Syria coverage
A leading Syrian journalist has resigned from her role as a BBCpresenter, after the British public broadcaster came under fire for its"biased" coverage of the Syria war.
Dima Izzedin said that her decision to leave the media outlet was in part due to the BBC's coverage of her home country, which activists say has closely followed the Syrian regime's narrative.
...
The BBC reported that in one attack, Syrian rebel had bombarded a regime-controlled district of Aleppo and killed 44 civilians. The truth is that the dead were from an opposition-held district and the bombs fired from the regime.
...
It led Syrians to suspect an inherent bias from the broadcaster. Once the public broadcaster realised its mistake it made an apology, which activists said was half-hearted and would not repair the damage.
'Inside' reporting
Supporters of the Syrian revolution have said the London-based media outlet displays clear sympathy with the regime narrative. Language closely reflects Damascus' own propaganda, they added.
Damascus-based BBC Arabic Syria correspondent Assaf al-Aboud has also come under flack for reporting on the war while embedded with regime troops.
The fact that he reports from the security-tight government-held capital – where dissent leads to arrests and ultimately death – means he is also unable to report truthfully or impartially, they add.
BBC English presenters have also been accused of giving sympathetic portrayals of life under government control.

Hardly getting over it.
Prime Establishment arse-licking from BBC Radio 4 news today, referring repeatedly to the travesties and tragedies visited on the Birmingham Six as "blunders" by West Midlands police. They weren't blunders, you dull cunts, they were full-on snow jobs.

I'm enjoying tonight's Newsnight. The working title for it is "the EU referendum has been dominated by blue on blue conflict as the tory party splits itself in two. Labour have quite sensibly avoided taking an overly prominent role in the debate as it would almost certainly split them in much the same way, so tonight we the BBC will do it for them."
It's not the snappiest title, granted.

Why is the word "lobbyist" in inverted commas here? When that was, unambiguously, Owen Smith's job at Pfizer? Answers on a postcard...

I know its the Olympics an all, which I love, but does it need to dominate the entire top of the BBC News home page?
"Who are Team GB's Medal Winners?" "Bolt, Phelps, and all the Rio gossip"...etc

Wait here I have gone to get help
Too much comedy on radio 4 and radio 4 extra. I like a laugh but last Sunday noticed that there is now a comedy slot on radio 4 on Sunday evening, in addition to every weekday evening on radio 4 from 6.30 to 7 and 11 to 11.30 p.m and on radio 4 extra from 10 to 12 p.m. Enough already with the cheap and quite often unfunny programming.

Years ago a signed up for something where the BBC emails me 'breaking news' it's pretty shit and huge events (like terrorist attacjs) have happened without a whisper from them. But I've had an email every single fucking time team GB have won a medal.I know its the Olympics an all, which I love, but does it need to dominate the entire top of the BBC News home page?
