BBC – Blatantly Biased Corporation

This morning, Saturday Aug 21st, the BBC's Today pogramme gave Gideon Levy’s measured and intelligent words a total of 1minute and 18 seconds and, for balance, the empty effusions of Israeli establishment figure, Ranan Gissen, 3 minutes and 7 seconds.

What would be the point of lodging a complaint? This rotten journalism is normal for the BBC (and most private media corporations are almost as bad.)

Any complaint against the UK state broadcasting agency, the BBC, or the North Korean News Agency, sort of implies that they are departing from some norm. Why complain when a dog acts like a dog?  Or a centrally directed, top-down, hack-infested, state-controlled bureacracy acts like, well, a centrally directed, top-down, hack-infested, state-controlled bureacracy.
