It's not the BBC's fault that you find the Truth biased

As you are so willing for the truth to out, I'm sure you are willing for the BBC to release the Balen report?

After all, you are interested in the truth, and on the side of the truth, aren't you?
Reporting from Gaza 2:29pm on 11 Jan 2009 To Marko (BBC)

A 6 month analysis of the BBC was carried out by Honest Reporting in a language that you will understand (statistic, facts and pie charts backed up with links).

http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/45884734/critiques/6_Month_Analysis_of_the_BBC_The_Subtle_Bias.asp

The BBC ignored it and did not reply.

The BBC’s own investigation into its anti-Israeli bias (called the Balen report) has been hidden in a safe at White City.

Frequent request from Jews/Israeli supporters using the Freedom of Information act have been turned down despite the fact that the BBC says this about the FoI act on the link below: "As a publicly funded organisation the BBC is fully committed to meeting both the spirit and the letter of the Act."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/foi/

(Obviously the pro Palestinian supporters will want the Balen report kept in the safe).

So the only way to deal with the bias is to take the BBC to court, just like the lawyer Steven Sugar is doing.

We’ve heard every excuse in the book why the BBC won’t publish the Balen report, what a shame hundreds of thousands of pounds of public money has been spent by the BBC trying to keep this report a secret.

A second review at the BBC was commissioned called "the Sir Quentin Thomas report" to prove the BBC had cleaned up its act; however the report told the BBC that “it must improve its Middle Eastern coverage” and its recommendations was ignored.

And, after knowing all this you question Israeli supporters (with gusto) as to why they think the BBC is biased?

"it is important that you stress your views"

I am here to advise people not to play your game, as you are only here to prove that the BBC is not biased against Israel, and to derail this thread just like you did on the "Off-limits" thread. Any evidence put to you will be ignored; you will repeat your questions over and over again and wil not reply to direct questions put to you.

You add nothing of substance to the debate and have now been exposed.

Excellent example of the bias, it's a shame Marko will ignore your examples and will still think the BBC is Impartial.

"The main motivation of trolls is just to annoy people etc."
I have reviewed your comments on the "Off-limits" thread and deduced that you have annoyed and angered many of the pro Israeli commentators by not engaging in dialog, answering questions, and repeatedly demanding answer from those that support Israel, whilst, at the same time forgetting to ask any questions to those that support the Palestinians.
Maybe you forgot to ask Palestinian supporters questions, just like the BBC forgot to report Israeli casualties during the Israeli/Hezbollah war, concentrating purely on Hezbollah casualties.
(Some static’s from the BBC's own bias, scroll down to 28th of July).

Now Marko, how would you convince someone that the BBC’s anti-Israeli bias has not rubbed off on you?
Do you agree with the former BBC Editor Rod Liddle when he wrote that the BBC's attitude was "the result of institutionalized political correctness, every bit as corrupting as institutionalized racism." Liddle lambasted BBC correspondent Niall Dickson, who had ended a report on the suicide bombing by a pair of British Islamic terrorists at Tel Aviv's Mike's Place with the totally unsubstantiated assertion that the vast majority of British Muslims are strongly opposed to such attacks.

"How do you know?" Liddle wrote. "You asked them all? You haven't, have you? You sort of hope it's true. It's an article of faith that we have to believe such things, so bung it in at the end of the report ..."

According to Liddle, the BBC is in thrall to an outlook whereby "Whatever happens, Muslim people in Britain mustn't be offended by whatever news is reported; ergo, don't report anything that might offend them. Or, if you do, sweeten it with shibboleths like `most Muslim people don't think like this, actually,' even if you haven't a clue whether they do or don't.
Do you agree with Rod Liddle that the institutionalized PC at the BBC makes it difficult to tell it as it is?
Reporting from Gaza 2:35pm on 06 Jan 2009 To _Marko

You work for the BBC, why haven’t you stated this?

As a BBC employee, how would you convince someone that you are not lobbying on the behalf of BBC, and the Palestinians?

You have spent all of your time questioning those that side with the Israelis on the Editors Blogs, why have you not questioned those that side with Palestinians with the same gusto?

You have not added anything of substance to any of debates, how would you convince someone that you are not an internet troll, or, trying to get a promotion at the BBC?

What is your method of analysis in determining the BBC is not anti-Israeli?

To the moderators, I have not broken any of the house rules; please allow this post to stand, so that Marko can reply.

Ps I have advised Marko in the past to write “BBC” in brackets at the end of his name, so it makes it apparent that he is staff.

Kind regards
