There must be some serious inner turmoil going on at the BBC over how to deal with this. I hope there's a rebellion and the truth comes out about just how many Beeboids are sympatico with Livingstone and Shah and the rest of them and are angry at how Jewish influence censors BBC reporting.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-22861967997122971672016-04-28T14:09:28.636+01:002016-04-28T14:09:28.636+01:0024 hours of not covering the story except for a br...24 hours of not covering the story except for a brief mention on a minor webpage. Then a brief mention at the dead hour in mid-afternoon, followed immediately by a positive immigration story. And Ms. Shah had apparently vanished by evening.

Bet he checked the male/female ratio before agreeing to appear... as a man.<br /><br />As to 'what many think...', that seems matching today by the 'many worried' about right-wing protest groups spoiling the whole protest thing by existing, in Germany.<br /><br />'Many' seems BBC for 'us'.

It's because of his foreign policy speech. Mark Urban (of course) said Trump criticized Obama's Iran nuclear deal, <i>"what many think is His biggest foreign policy achievement"</i>. Are you kidding me? Who says that outside of Iran and the White House? OMFG. It's already well known that Iran is defying all of it. The Obamessiah worship never ends.<br /><br />The sneer dripped from Urban's voice as he reported that Trump said that he'd try to renegotiate a "reset" with Russia. Yet the BBC was ecstatic over Hillary's reset. David Frum - introduced as former speechwriter for George W Bush, in this instance as a reason to trust him rather than a health warning - on now, yawn, switching over to NBA playoffs.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-14294823213892611922016-04-28T01:43:49.255+01:002016-04-28T01:43:49.255+01:00Watching Newsnight now, and Hannah Barnes is the c...Watching Newsnight now, and Hannah Barnes is the correspondent introducing this story and the larger issue of anti-Semitism in Labour. She said some in Labour are saying this is a problem with Jeremy Corbyn, who isn't sincere enough in his desire to address the issue. Big health warning given to her interview subject, a "leader of a Blairite group inside Labour", so any criticism of Corbyn is discredited before you hear it. Sometimes the BBC does follow its own editorial guidelines. Sometimes.<br /><br />Next up is Danny Cohen saying that Labour has a problem, and leadership isn't up to dealing with it. After years and years of people like us complaining, the BBC has finally said that criticism of Israel has crossed the line into anti-Semitism.<br /><br />Finally. It took how many ugly incidents, BBC? How many times did your staff or sympathetic journalists tell us we were full of #@$^? <br /><br />Evan Davis's guest is a woman rabbi. She is a cross-bench peer, grew up in a Labour family, Lib Dem as an adult, so except for homosexuality, all boxes ticked. Because obviously a male, possibly conservative Jew wouldn't be credible.<br /><br />She was quick to point out that Labour was not the only party with a problem. Oh, wait, next up is Lord Levy - a Labour peer, so male is okay but Conservative isn't, and why only elderly Peers, not MPs? - who took that ball and ran with it. <br /><br />He said he scratched his head in despair as to how someone this ignorant can become an MP, but what's her constituency? <br /><br />"But, I'm not quite clear. Are you saying Labour has a worse problem than the other parties, or all parties are equally bad in this regard?"<br /><br />How many Labour incidents have there been in the last few weeks, versus how many incidents amongst all parties in the last few years? There were two Lib Dems, I can think of. Levy said he was told when he entered the House of Lords that the Tories made some "Jew boy" remark. Hearsay, not even a first-hand account, but that's good enough for the BBC to spread the blame around. Save Labour At All Costs.<br /><br />Levy's response was in the affirmative. But at this time, it "seems more prominent" in Labour. After a lot of heat and zero light, Levy's summing up was about how all parties need to look closely at their own problems, and "we need to work closely" with the Middle East, etc. and sort this out.<br /><br />Davis went back to ask Rabbi Julia about how criticism of Israel might be taken as anti-Semitism. Her answer was not bad. But nobody went far enough and said the obvious thing we've all been saying for years: It has somehow 'passed the dinner table test' to say that Jews everywhere should be associated with, and accept consequences for, Israel's perceived sins. That's the conflation of anti-Israel with anti-Jew.<br /><br />Worst of all is that having two Jews on to discuss this is all a bunch of "Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?" and convinces no one. And once again, blame is shifted away from dear Labour and spread equally across all parties and ends of the political spectrum. FFS, BBC. And FFS, you useful Jews.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-11792463647625796162016-04-28T01:09:12.845+01:002016-04-28T01:09:12.845+01:00No forgiveness for Laura K.

It does seem like a good apology. I almost feel bad for being a little suspicious about any lesson being learned.<br /><br />It's quite astonishing. The last few weeks have seen the most coverage of anti-Semitism in Britain ever on the BBC, by miles. And it hasn't been real events of vandalism and attacks and reports of increased incidents that's forced the BBC to report it. It's dear, beloved Labour, the party of justice and fairness and equality, having a massive problem with hatred of Jews. The Beeboids must be eating their own livers trying to work out how to handle this. <br /><br />Liam Fox gave one partial answer to Neil's question of why, and Laura K dodged it entirely. She can't 'unpick' the reasons? Pathetic.
