The BBC’s Charter and its Producers Guidelines state:...“Due impartiality lies at the heart of the BBC. All programs and services should be open minded, fair and show a respect for truth… [BBC reports should] contain comprehensive, authoritative and impartial coverage of news and current affairs in the United Kingdom and throughout the world…”
How does the BBC measure up to its charter?
BBC Headlines Israel Police Abuse of Palestinian « Thread Started on Oct 22, 2009, 5:55pm »
When I saw this headline Israel rejects police abuse probe listed among the BBC main stories of the Middle East, I wanted to see just how 'the Israeli authorities were again flouting human rights as deemed by the 'superior civilised nations' in their cruel and harsh treatment of 'innocent' Palestinians.
To understand just how ludicrous is this story, you just have to view the video yourself, and what the BBC make of it. Then compare it by example to the Palestinian police actions after capturing 2 Israeli off-duty reserve soldiers who inadvertantly wondered into Ramalla back in October 2000.

I thought it would be interesting to show the following picture from the BBC studio this evening, where police are dragging 2 women protesters away, angry at the inclusion of Nick Griffin on Question Time. How would BBC defend the police against the 'abuse' inflcted on these protesters?
A female protester is dragged along the smooth floor of the BBC by her leg screaming 'shame on you!. Another is pulled with her backpack

As it is, the BBC is only answerable to itself in deciding its standards and coverage. How does it measure up to what you see as ' good quality, impartial and unbiased?
All TV viewers in the UK are forced by law to pay for this 'service'. Do you believe that what is received for this tax truly 'serves' the society, or merely increases the problems within it?
