I am often asked whether we in Scotland overreact to the idea of BBC bias and if we imagine it. This is an example of the kind of thing we see every single day. It is sometimes very subtle and sometimes involves lies and massively overstating certain stories and underplaying or ignoring other stories. Whichever approach they use, it is hard not to come to the conclusion that BBC Scotland News is orchestrating a very deliberate campaign.

Two news stories on the death of Pope Francis, one in Wales and one in Scotland. The story from Scotland describes the First Minister as "Swinney" while the story from Wales doesn't feel the need to call their First Minister by his last name.

Should we be surprised that BBC Scotland shows flagrant disregard for their own charter and the rules which govern them? Here in Scotland we are well used to their obvious bias, censorship and outright lies.
Should we expect any more? After all they are the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation. Their focus is on the British state, the Monarchy and in keeping the status quo. It isn't just in Scotland though. They show their bias across the UK every single day. Is BBC News fit for purpose?

Compare and contrast the negative headline after Scotland’s win with the irrepressible positivity towards England.

And of course, the “six nation hopes” refer to the hopes for England, not the hopes for Wales, Ireland or Scotland.

"the BBC disgracefully chose censorship despite having:
the option of keeping the version with a line of context on this, ultimately standing by the truth at the heart of the film: that Israel is harming Palestinian children."

Dismayed that the #bbc is still using the terms:

*Hostages* for the Israeli Captives

and

*Prisoners* for the Palestinian captives (many of whom are women and children, and many have been tortured.

And also, they don't report on the health of the Palestinians being released, but are very critical of the state of Israel hostages, who are generally in better shape.

More selective humanity and apartheid reporting from the "publicly owned" BBC

Finally got around to reading Owen Jones' lengthy investigative piece laying out in detail the systemic anti-Palestinian bias at the #BBC, including reporting on the experiences of more than a dozen very frustrated BBC journalists, and accounts of how various spefic stories were spun by senior editors to blunt and obscure evidence and perspectives critical of Israel.

I have multiple people I know well who still (somewhat inexplicably) consider the BBC a reliable and objective source of news, and whose attitudes to the ongoing genocide in Gaza are correspondingly muted as a direct result. This kind of investigation and the evidence it gathers can sometimes open chinks in the mental armour so many of us wear, those habitual modes of thought and mental shortcuts that help to hold deeply uncomfortable realities at bay, such as the fact that most major western media outlets are deeply invested in helping to manufacture consent for some of the 21st century's most horrific crimes against humanity.

This is how desperate the #BBC are to portray #Scotland in a negative light. Their obsession with #Ferries is driving them to make ludicrous comparisons. It’s rather pathetic, really.

Once again, Prof Robertson doing the work BBC Scotland should have done. Nearly 2 thirds of the Scotrail delays they were crowing about are caused by UK-controlled Network Rail.
