Related: About this forumBBC hikes up Zionist propaganda machine
This discussion thread was locked by Skinner (a host of the Media group).
Again we see another one sided report which said nothing about the breech of Iraq Sovereignty by the Turks who frequently cross the border in Iraq to attack the PKK. What the BBC does not tell you is that another group also exists in the North of Iraq who carries out such attacks in Iran. The PJAK is identical to the PKK but has the full support of the US and the west who provide them with finance and arms. What is so interesting is the US, UK and the west have named the PKK as a terrorist group and yet the international court in Europe have stated that they are not a terrorist group and have been delisted accordingly, hows that for double standards.
Why doesn´t the BBC cover in more detail the ongoing unrest in Egypt and the fact that the army is fully funded and supported by the US and that democracy will never prevail as Israel does not want a civilian government in power who could open up the border between Gaza and Egypt.
How come the BBC have not been so hard on the Bahrain Royal Family for their breach of human rights and the fact that the British police are now teaching them how to Kettle in the protestors who happen to be the majority in Bahrain (Shia). It is clear that the west has a bone of contention with everything associated with the Shiites, hence the hard line stance against Iran. We also saw the same in Iraq, again the BBC clearly has Two Faces.

The comments to the "story" are enlightening...this should be right up there with World Nut Daily.
Then again for Iranian gov site to whine about freedom of the press and press coverage is a good joke with which to start the day.

(34 posts)3. In England, the media is free to choose which side it wants, in Iran it is NOT.
A country whose press freedom ranks between North Korea, China, and Burma have no right to criticize anyone else. Also there preisdent denies the Holocaust so they have not a shred of credibility.
I'll bet the OP is too scared to come back and refute these things and he just runs away like in his other pro-Iranian threads.
