Anti-Israeli bias in the BBC?

[Dole]

Why single out Sudan as opposed to any of the many countries across the world that have atrocities occuring in them? Do you see much international news coverage that doesnt relate to Iraq etc in the US?

I am presuming you live in North America...I spent a fair bit of time there a year or two ago, and was absolutely amazed at the complete lack of any kind of international news coverage, unless it was specifically related to the US.

If you start to analyse ANY news provider it is very easy to pick out how stories are weighted, what is and isnt covered according to who provides the news (this was the subject of my masters dissertation), and OBVIOUSLY the bbc is no exception. No news provider on this Earth is going to give you a complete perfect balance of what is happening in the world, its impossible.

The BBC may have its faults but its coverage of international news generally is a lot better and more balanced than most american (tv at any rate) news providers. We are far more likely to have international stories that do not relate to our specific interests on our TV than you, so from that standpoint I say NYAH NYAH N-NYAH NYAH.

What do you suppose those nice people at bbcwatch would find if they focused their attention on US TV news, and looked at how Israel is perhaps presented in a more favourable light than other nations who have treated its occupants in an equally abhorrent fashion, hmm?
