What's BBC news bias like these days?

BBC news bias looks today to be as strongly tipped left and anti-American as it has at anytime in the last decade.

Here's an example of typical BBC news reporting.

On Mar. 11 on BBC News 24, the news reader told viewers that "America has again run afoul" of human rights organizations which are objecting to "the Americans' force feeding prisoners at Guantanomo who are hunger-sticking.

Viewers were reminded that "human rights groups" have "condemned prison conditions there."

Then came “the latest”: A group of 263 European physicians have signed a petition calling on American physicians assisting in the force feeding to stop what they’re doing “because they are violating medical ethics and the prisoners’ human rights.”

The BBC reader then interviewed one of the petition signers. By my timing the interview lasted a little more than four minutes.

The petition signer was asked a series of softball questions (Example: "If the behavior of these American physicians is unethical, then why are they doing it?")

Did the BBC bring on anyone to rebut the petition signer's statements and opinion?

Of course not. That could only interfere with the BBC’s efforts to “inform the public.”
