UK's media are biased in reporting Gaza

What do you think of the allegations that the UK's media are biased:

(1) there was hardly any report on Gaza and the Israeli invasion, let alone pictures of the brutal killing of children as reported here:

(2) Sky joins BBC in refusing to air Gaza charity appeal as reported here:

actually I've watched the reports from both BBC, CNN and even ch5. I actually find the BBC's reports more balanced, showing the victims of both sides... I'm happy theyre not going for the charity show because that would mean taking a side, which is IMO not the job of a news company, it's job is merely to present the facts, it's the individuals job to develop his/her opinion.

Is there a need for gratuitious pictures of the dead in the news?

The British have not forgotten the terrorists' bomb attacks on it's transport networks, have they?

i think the BBC is the only fellas giving both sides of this idiocy a hard time...

go download the podcasts of their presenters on the World Service tekaning both the Palestinian and Israeli politicians, they dare to ask the questions which no one seems to want to ask like making the Palestinian politician look like a fool when he asked why Hamas refuses to stop firing rockets or is it they are unable to.. and that the territory is totally out of control..

and the Israelis are also taken to task asking why did they go in and destroy everything in sight and also asked them directly if they used phosphorous munitions...

pandering to the Palestinians is not unbiased.. it's just politically correct in the eyes of the hypocrites...

BBC seems very balanced. Listen to the most recent podcasts, it sounds to me like it's quite balanced anyway.

I would hardly turn to some random forum to give balanced opinions. Most are covert muslims or jews pretending to be balanced while pushing their opinion.

Hmm, maybe I should stop trying to even touch this topic... :P
