So at this point can we proclaim the BBC a biased news organization?

I suppose we can but ... as great as we are ... who would care? I'm not even sure I do.

Nah.

Only if we get to call it the Bingo-Callers Confederacy, too.

Sparse Op is Sparse Op

It didn't mention something over as large a space as you would like. It happens to all of us. Deal with it.

BBC manages to be attacked from people from all over the political spectrum for being biassed. Probably a sign that its doing its job properly

I guess Fox is the fucking gold standard of truth then.

Better question (or thread, rather), is can we proclaim a single news organization un-biased?

bbcwatch.org: Monitoring BBC of Israel for accuracy and impartiality

lel, that's not a biased source at all.

You can go ahead if you wish OP, I could care less as it seems with most people here.

No, FOX only gets attacked by the left as far as I know.

Honestly I do not see the importance of the question.

We don't have moderates, we have "spineless sympathizers".

Spineless?

I take offense at that.

I admit the BBC is biased. I don't love it, and I take it all with a pinch of salt. But I still think its a lot more accurate and unbiased than most news networks and papers. The Sun

Well clearly not. If you have a news source that is declared bias on an issue from two opposing sides then you probably have a neutral outlet

To be honest, my first question is where is the source showing the all Israeli Jews are Zionists?

I'm just shocked that there's a right-wing website dedicated solely to monitoring BBC coverage of Israel. I claim bias on your source about biased sources.

Totally agree, all broadcasters are biased and the BBC is no exception. However, the BBC is easily one of the most reliable news agencies for impartial reporting.

And what exactly about this shocks you?

That there are people with so little time on their hands. Of course, NS exists too, so...

Also after reading the article, they are attacking BBC over translating semantics. Rather foundation-less, really. Not that I think the BBC (or any media group) is unbiased, but this is a bad example.
