Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

It was like this a decade ago, endless crackpot conspiracy theories about Bolshevik Muslims secretly plotting to destroy Britain and jihadify schools. Top of the ten o’clock news! All that’s happened is that it’s got so bad, they no longer feel they have to dress it up prettily.

Instead of investigating the Israeli ambassador’s nakedly genocidal remarks, Austrian authorities targeted the man who shared the ambassador's footage

He’s still fucking doing it

There has been a lot of talk about BBC bias today. Its a good moment to remember the BBC Gaza Report The Centre for Media Monitoring (CfMM) by the Centre for Media Monitoring, just to remind ourselves of the scandalous bias against Palestine BBC News (UK) in the face of the Gaza Genocide share.google/rzQVhvigAoqQ3L…

The BBC doesn't have a "left wing bias", it has a bias for the political and social establishment. The Panorama hack job on Corbyn's Labour featured examples of journalistic failing far more egregious than an edited speech.

Noticeable difference in levels of accountability and consequences when the BBC manipulates information to misrepresent someone on the right of politics compared to the left. John Ware was given a BAFTA!

Every personal attack. Every attempt to distract or to divide. It energises, strengthens and empowers our movement. Lower bills. Tax billionaires. Join us. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Incredible shit here: the man who provided the template for stomping on the BBC when it displeases malicious actors in politics, complaining that malicious actors in politics are using his template for stomping on the BBC for displeasing them.

The main reason this is even an option for right wing wackos is that we mutilated and deformed the fuck out of the BBC, specifically to protect Alastair and Tony from the consequences of their choices and actions. We’re still doing that now, 20+ years later.

The idea the BBC has been anti Israel in its coverage of Gaza is outrageous. Most news orgs have been too nervous about shining a light on the real brutality of what’s happened (90% bombed, every hospital bombed, food withheld from children, 20,000 dead kids)

The references here are US specific, but the method has been the same the world over, for 40 or 50 years.

That anyone with eyes and ears and a working brain could think the BBC is anti-Israel in its coverage of the genocide in Gaza is truly staggering to me.

Her eyebrows are in roughly the same location that Steven Gerrard's hairline begins.

It's never enough for the Israel lobby just to pollute the information ecosystem with their propaganda, they have to go further and claim to be victims of 'silencing'. BBC is a pro-Israel broadcaster, and Israeli propaganda is their stock-in-trade. #ItWasAScam

Did you go to private school, then Oxbridge, and have no work experience and talent at all? Then perhaps you'd consider a lucrative career on Britain's transphobia punditry circuit.

Local people with local concerns...

This is fabulous!

Perhaps this paper might like to ask itself who it is that has been telling the public for years that e.g. major institutions are shamefully biased by leftist groupthink, that gender war crackpots are noble warriors for truth and that Israel is horribly maligned.

So the heads of the BBC resign over a dodgy edit of Trumps speech. How many of them will resign over its appalling biased coverage of the genocide in Gaza?
