The BBC doesn't fit my definition as it's run by a democracy with a high degree of human rights and civilian freedoms. And journalism can be technically right

The BBC doesn't fit my definition as it's run by a democracy with a high degree of human rights and civilian freedoms.
And journalism can be technically right while still showing a very one sided view.
Not that I'm pro ban, just saying that there's a good reason to be vigilant when it comes to their news coverage and make sure it's not you're only source.

- staunton 2y agoWhat is "Zaka" and what has BBC been saying? Have a link to what you mean?
- llimos 2y agoZaka is the Israeli first responder organization that did a lot of the work on October 7. wahnfrieden is apparently an October 7 denier and is annoyed that the BBC does think it happened.
- wahnfrieden 2y agoNo, the specific atrocity stories of 40 beheaded babies that BBC repeats after it was discredited, the baby cut from a womb, and others that were admitted to be fabrications but continue to be reported from Zaka as a credible source. Don't slander me saying that I deny Oct 7 happened.
- staunton 2y agoDo you have a link where the BBC repeats this? I've never heard of any of it.
- wahnfrieden 2y agoHere's a recent one, which cites a discredited Zaka source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68162920 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68162920 And there is plenty of reporting on the atrocity propaganda lies Zaka spread, but here is an Israeli publication's reporting: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-31/ty-article-magazine/.premium/death-and-donations-did-the-volunteer-group-handling-the-october-7-dead-exploit-its-role/0000018d-5a73-d997-adff-df7bdb670000 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-01-31/ty-article-ma... NYT also repeated discredited lies: https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schwartz-october-7/ https://theintercept.com/2024/02/28/new-york-times-anat-schw... Detractors say that discrediting Zaka propaganda is equivalent to Oct 7 denial full-stop, even though Israeli publications have also discredited their claims (I guess Haaretz must also be an Oct 7 denier) - you can be the judge of that
