The documentary relies on Jack Straw who lied about WMDs in Iraq. I am sure he is correct now /s Also compare and contrast with censorship and removal of stories on Hunter Biden.

Whataboutism - the BJP and their ties to the RSS is well documented and known.

  Nobody said otherwise. BBC and their racism and racist roots are well known.

    You’re merely doubling down on the whataboutism.

      You keep using that word, "whataboutism". It doesn't mean what you think it means. Pointing out BBC's racist bias is not "whataboutism". Western countries have no problems with banning entire channels like RT and Al Jazeera, but God forbid that a biased piece of shit "documentary" be banned from a propaganda outlet; then the heaven is falling!!

        Please remember that the BBC isn't state media because [semantics].

        Do elected officials in the UK government tell the BBC what to say?
        LarryMullins 4y ago
        "Government" is more than elected officials. Defining the BBC to be outside of government is British semantics.
        myko 4y ago
        The BBC operates independently of the government. That is a fact. RT, for example, takes direction directly from the Kremlin and is nothing more than a propaganda hose.
        LarryMullins 4y ago
        The BBC is part of the government. Claiming otherwise relies on semantics about which parts of a government are called "the government".

        You’re doing nothing but distracting from the discussion, as others are attempting to do. But some of us aren’t falling for it.

These knee-jerk defenders seem to forget that the West bans entire channels like RT and Al Jazeera. I remember when the Second Gulf War started in 2003, Al Jazeera was removed from cable channels. They were forced to start a completely new organization, called "Al Jazeera America" to 'comply' with local laws. So much for freedom of speech, eh? And don't even get me started on RT. Edit: HN "discussions" of RT getting banned: https://ibb.co/VtyBSCn https://ibb.co/VtyBSCn

  Censorship is bad regardless where it happens. The fact RT got kicked out in Europe is as bad a document critical to Modi gets kicked out in India. One can be unhappy in both cases.

  Nobody is getting arrested for watching RT by other means, it's just not broadcast.
