The TV weather forecast is still being censored and there's yet another letter specifically about it in today's The Nation. I continue to wonder on whose behalf it is being censored when the news is so freely available everywhere else in the Kingdom!
Putting the Thai situation to one side, I'm struggling with the idea being expressed that the BBC tells the truth.
You'll often find more impartial news reporting from Russia Today and Al Jazeera than you will from the BBC these days
I've all but given up watching the BBC News.
In comparing with CNN - BBC is true mirror.Originally Posted by scottish-guy

Do you remember explosion in airport in Istanbul? BBC and Fox were the only big foreign mass-media which told to world what head of terrorist group been formerly Chechen from Russia who left Russia 15 years ago and had residence in Austria. Also they mentioned what Russia been searching for him over 12 years. The rest "honest-overhonest" medias cried: "Head of group of terrorist is Russian".

Would you care to give us some examples.
Scottish is right; AL J nor RT aren't frightened of the Israel lobby. The BBC is so terrified that it refused to broadcast an appeal for the child victims of the "Cast Lead" attack on Gaza. Even the unspeakable Murdoch's Sky did .
In the last four years , it has appointed three extreme Zionists to senior posts to make sure that Tel Aviv is kept happy. It has become a by-word for cowardice.
Many of Al J's senior staff are ex-BBC people, trying to keep traditional values alive.
funny thing this...the only county where gays can live freely...so freely that even arabs occasionally seek asylum there and a whole bunch of venomous creeps are trying to pry open the gas chamber doors...
BBC is the only broadcaster under law not to be regulated by OFCOM for bias, instead they regulate themselves.
You'll find lots of examples of BBC lying and propaganda here:

OK Scottish, fair points. However the BBC is supposed to be unbiased according to its charter but no other organisation has that obligation. I have always found Al Jazeera to be a very good if rather dry news channel.

Yes the BBC has a Charter obligation to be unbiased - but judgements on whether its Charter has been breached are taken by the BBC Trust who rely for their existance on (guess who) the BBC.
