The BBC is in trouble with the ICO for failing to provide call logs showing whether the corporation’s top brass have been conferring with Israeli officials during the Gaza genocide. Harriet Williamson reports.

    I don’t think journalists should be forced to disclose their phone records. Of course the BBC should be allowed to make phone calls with embassies to get information and statements.

    Israel supporters complain about an anti Israel bias at the BBC pretty regularly.

      Sure, Zionists complain about anti-Israel bias all the time, regardless of reality.

          I feel like there’s room for pushing back against antisemitism while also being wholeheartedly against zionism (fuck Israel so very very much). In this case I don’t personally read OP’s comment as suggesting jewish people are enemies of humanity, but I can certainly see how someone could see it as a dogwhistle for antisemites, even though it doesn’t read that way to me

            Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Rupert Murdoch, Charles Kock, the Royal Family and Tim Davie(heads of the state run BBC which the OP is about)

            All own/run major mass media outlets and are enemies of humanity

            None are Jewish

            If your supposition is that they’re ‘crypto-Jews’ that’s by far the most antisemitic thing in this thread

                YOU QUOTED SOMETHING THAT I DIDN’T SAY. What are you talking about?!?!?!

                Also, who said I was a “leftist”? What does that even mean?

                The only way you would associate Israel’s genocide with Jewishness is if you think they are committing genocide because they are Jewish. Which is obviously not the case. I wish you could actually make a difinitive statement because what you’re implying is very anti-semitic.

                  No? Are you so stupid you don’t know what a strawman is and too lazy to look it up?

                  Interesting random accusation to make while siding with internet Nazis btw. That mask is just about all the way off.

        This is just the, “pointing out genocide is antisemitism” with a slightly different coat of paint.

        It’s no secret that Western media is completely incapable and unwilling to admit what Israel and the West is doing to Gaza and the greater Middle East, and for that matter what it has done in the past and around the world.

        I think it’s safe to say that whatever forces control western media (hint: it’s capital), they act against the interests of humanity.

        Now, if your mind instantly jumps to (((DA JOOs))), that’s a you problem.

        Billionaires and people who commit and support genocide are enemies of humanity, regardless of their religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation etc, yes or no?
