BBC Watch has 2 excellent exposees regarding a 4 part series done for the BBC by journalist John McCarthy
Diatribe against anti-terrorist fence on BBC Radio 4
BBC Radio 4 programme on Jerusalem erases Jewish presence
I'll remind readers that McCarthy was Britain's longest-held hostage in Lebanon, being held for more than five years.
Now judging by the criticisms levelled at his programme by BBC Watch it would appear that he is suffering from a clear case of Stockholm Syndrome *(or capture–bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending them)
Yet the BBC airs his patently biased output without a qualm. So what is their justification?
