From the Guardian: UN nuclear chief boycotts BBC over Gaza appeal:

The head of the UN"s nuclear watchdog has cancelled planned interviews with the BBC in protest at the corporation's decision not to air an emergency appeal for Gaza on behalf of the Disasters Emergency Committee.

In a statement to the Guardian, Mohamed ElBaradei, a Nobel peace prize winner, unleashed a stinging denunciation of the BBC, deepening the damage already caused by the controversy.

The statement, from his office at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said the BBC decision not to air the aid appeal for victims of the conflict "violates the rules of basic human decency which are there to help vulnerable people, irrespective of who is right or wrong".

I think the man is absolutely right, and furthermore, Mr. and Ms. BBC, we know the real reason you are now so anxious to protect the reputation of Israeli war criminals and child torturers. As it explains in the link below you now have to appease the rabid right wing in the US if you want to make a buck these days.

Money and ideology behind BBC’s decision not to broadcast Gaza humanitarian appeal

Quote: However, the decision by the BBC’s director-general, Mark Thompson, not to broadcast the appeal should have come as no surprise. In fact, media observers have been witnessing a steady tilt by the corporation towards Israel since the turn of the millennium.

According to our sources, there are two fundamental reasons for this. The first is the need to boost advertising revenue for the debt-ridden BBC World News television channel, which cannot be seen in the UK. This channel relies heavily on advertisers from the United States who we understand have told the BBC in no uncertain terms that they would advertise with it only if the corporation changed its editorial line on the Arab-Israeli conflict in favour of Israel.

It appears this so-called attempt of the BBC at showing "impartiality" is just showing the world the the BBC in now on a par with those "fair and balanced", right wing, brown nosers at Fox News.

Maybe if you're lucky you too will all get a Medal of Freedom one day from the Zionist's stooges and arms supplier, just like your former PM Tony bLIAR did. It will look good on you too, just like it does on him.

With the utmost contempt for your cowardly and gutless betrayal of the victims of war,

Signed
