#1 Anti-Semitism is a cardinal virtue at the Beeb. They are a cancer on democracy.

#2 I remember hearing, on the BBC radio (Channel 4), one BBC Journalist asking (with a very gentle Oxford accent) Steven Emerson (the well-known islamism expert), the day after al-Arian was sentenced in Florida for supporting terrorism, "Don't you think that some people may say that this condemnation is the proof of Israel directing the US justice system"...

Isn't the BBC charming... as an ugly snake?

#3 BBC didn't need to repeat Gibson's tirade, since they agreed with it, and assumed their listeners would too.

#4 The is tame and timid in compatison of the 24/7 anti US and plain outright pro islamfacist crap the BBC puts out.

Gobbles could take lessons from the BBC.

#5 Working for the BBC was Orwells inspiration for 1984.

The BBC is a cancer on the U.K.

#6 NOTE: The BBC story linked to was published on Friday, it may have been written before Mel Gibsons drunken remarks were known. Today the BBC does cover the story

I will grant that it was written on Friday night. However, I searched the entire site. It was the only story on the bbc website referring to gibson as of late Sunday night, eastern time (US), after other major news outlets ran the story that included his rant.

Of course, at the same time, their home page ran a story about Israeli atrocities.
