BBC = Biased, Bigoted Corporation

   I used this title[1] before, and here is further evidence, provided by
   [2]Stephen Pollard:

     A BBC mole has sent me this briefing for BBC staff from the BBC's
     Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, on what lies ahead this year.
     Itâs all too predictable. The "fragmentation" of Palestinian
     society has, in Mr Bowenâs view, nothing to do with the
     Palestinians and everything to do with Israel (âthe death of hope,
     caused by a cocktail of Israel's military activities, land
     expropriation and settlement building â and the financial sanctions
     imposed on the Hamas led governmentâ). Indeed, Israel is to blame
     for almost everything. The Palestinians are not responsible for
     anything; Israel is the culpable party.
     He has contempt for every Israeli politician he mentions; Ehud
     Barak, for instance, is described as having killed "various
     Palestinians", written as if he did so for the sake of it.
     If this is what passes for high-level analysis at the BBC, is it
     any wonder its reporting is so poisonous?

   Pollard posted the entire memo at [3]his site. It is absolutely
   appalling. And be sure to read the comments there as well.
