Well, yes, such bullshit is universal indeed.

My view is that they seem to run with the government of the day when it comes to international matters. This is not a left/right thing. The scenery is set by a tepid analysis of government policy and printed media headline as opposed to impartial investigative journalism. The BBC should be...

A new avenue of theory is that it was a Syrian government attack on a munitions dump that has unleashed chemicals being stored there. Whilst this is just another theory, given the situation, it is plausible. Again, obviously, we don't know the truth here. I suspect it is a theory that will be...

The issue isn't whether or not the attack took place, the issue is the instant assumption that it was the Syrian government. If you read into the situation in Douma you'll find yourself asking questions as to why Assad would have felt the need to do this when a deal had already been struck for...

Missing the point. I know that Russia Today is likely far worse. My point is that the BBC is not reliable.

Having long been an ardent supporter of the BBC, I find myself saddened that what I believed to be the bastion of independent media seems to be cowering to the government narrative in foreign affairs. The glaring omissions in the reporting of the alleged chemical attack in Douma this weekend...
