BBC Bias On Israel: Fabricant Notices
MICHAEL Fabricant MP - he of the Boris Johnson fright wig and keen eye - has noticed that the BBC is about as neutral as a Austrian jackboot manufacturer:
I have been horrified and angered by the coverage of the Israel-Gaza conflict. While paying scant regard to the provocation of 10,000 rockets fired at Israeli civilians from Gaza over the last seven years, the BBC has chosen to broadcast ‘human interest’ stories reminiscent of salacious photos in the cheaper red top newspapers.
Old Mr Anorak has taken to watching the latest ARab-Israel fight on Sky News, which seems to offer a different story and deeper colours.

Personally - when I was grubbing around the Scottish HQ - I just thought they were all too middle-class, too cut off from reality and a bit thick because of it.

The really shocking thing about the BBC is the way they use the old ‘Hugh of Lincoln’ story structure… ‘…O Fiendish Nation!… The blood cries out upon your fiendish deed’… and all that.
They do it with almost everything though. They constantly make value judgements and state opinions as fact. It’s like a liberal-left version of Fanny Craddock writes all their scripts.
I’m told by people who work there that fear runs rampant throughout the organisation so once a kind of consensus gets formed on an issue they will all frantically and mindlessly parrot it for fear of losing their jobs.
