BBC vs Al-Jazeera
BBC: Bush urges Israeli occupation end
Al-Jazeera: Gaffe overshadows Bush visit
The BBC didn’t mention Bush’s checkpoint joke, while Al-Jazeera barely touched on Bush’s advocating a Palestinian state.
BBC: Mentions Iran’s video response to the Strait of Hormuz incident, and indicates the four-minute video doesn’t appear to cover the whole incident.
Al-Jazeera: States the video’s 5:20 long, and mentions the Pentagon claims it doesn’t show the whole thing. (And we know how much they trust the Pentagon.)
Just curious, who is BBC? I just listened to an interview of the producer of expelled which I think was BBC but I figure you are talking more television or papers than internet radio.
Reply to l3rucewayneThe BBC originally stood for the British Broadcasting Corporation, and they are the largest broadcasting company in the world (I think). They do news, entertainment, and education via radio, TV, and Internet.
The BBC is often accused of anti-American leftist bias by American conservatives. Simply by contrasting the BBC with other world news (as in this post), it looks like the BBC is more “friendly” to the United States than the Rush Limbaughs of this country would have you imagine.
In reality, I think as an organization they do try to be reasonably objective, and it’s impossible to be perfect in this respect anyway.
