Biased BBC reporting.

 


What sort of news service is the BBC offering the British public? It claims to offer impartial, factual, unbiased news reporting.

Last night, I watched a BBC news report about the U.S. and U K. military strikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen who are targeting shipping in the Red Sea. Anybody who watched this BBC news report wouldn't have had a clue why the Houthi rebels were targeting shipping because the question was never brought up. We were led to believe that they were doing this at the behest of Iran who supply them with weapons. We heard from the former CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr and a Pentagon official, but not from anybody representing the Houthis.

The Houthi rebels say they have been targeting shipping in the Red Sea that is heading towards Israel and will continue to do so for as long as the war on Gaza continues, but this was never mentioned in the BBC news report. They now say that because of the attack on Yemen, all U.S. and British assets have become "legitimate targets."
