No shit.
I saw one BBC article recently that didn’t use the passive voice when mentioning how many Palestinian children were killed by Israel. So that’s an improvement
Shocking
TERF-BC is dying slowly.
ok so quit
It’s a public service. It needs to be corrected, not abandoned.
BBC has 21,000 employees. 100 think they are biased on isisrael. You can’t fix that.
the government is a “public service”, should we do entryism?
We should do what works. Entryism into Harmer’s government would, in general, be a waste of time. Getting the BBC to correct this particular mistake might work, as (1) the UK has a sizeable elite Muslim population, (2) the UK, unlike the US, needs to maintain good relations with oil producers, and (3) criticising Israel and supporting Palestine is therefore much more ‘acceptable’.
i dont think theres a chance in hell of the bbc “correcting” any “mistake”. The job of the bbc is to make propaganda on behalf of the british capitalist class. Maybe ill be proven wrong but im doubtful
The British ruling class is more interested in maintaining their own power than in supporting Israel. Israel isn’t their military base, and they want good relations at least with the ruling classes of the Gulf states. If pushed too hard, there is a possibility that they will throw Israel under the bus to save their own skins. I’m not betting on it happening, but Harmer & Co. are spineless cowards, so anything is possible.
What is an elite Muslim?
Muslims in the ruling class.
Quitting may just make it easier to replace them with more compliant workers.
And with something like the BBC there’s some value to trying to “fix it from the inside” moreso than with American news outlets that are privately owned. The BBC is a publicly owned national broadcaster, at some level they’re the only game in town.
