    The Beeb got a lot of heat yesterday with a headline where they misrepresented a terrorist incident there. If they had used that wording for the for the recent London attacks people would have lost their jobs

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Anti Israel?

    I'd have thought that most maintream media outlets would tend to veer in the other direction.

    The BBC are considered anti-whatever-the-person-moaning-likes usually.

    do ye not think the news headline looks like it set out to be deceptive?

    So with no takers for your theory about BBC 'bias', you now claim that the headline 'set out to be deceptive', meaning that it was deliberately framed to present a false timeline of the events.

    How did you come to the conclusion that it wasn't a simple mistake? Maybe because you've already made up your mind about the BBC 'bias'.

    Which means you are the one that's biased.
