Another little tidbit the biased left wing media forgot to mention

[RobertE]

The worst of all is the BBC. It is a left-wing news establishment that reports from a left-wing bias. In fact, the BBC is the left-wing version of Fox News. In 99% of reports that come from the wars between Israel and Palestine, the Palestinians are always the victims. As far as I'm concerned, this is not the case. If a group like Hamas lances rockets, then Israel has a god damn right to retaliate to defend itself.

Why wasn't this on the news? why when you google  this story nothing comes up but right wing news sources??

Because the assholes who run right-wing propaganda venues know exactly what dickheads like you want to read, you dickhead.

It's always about how they respond and what they are targeting on purpose. That's not a left wing perspective, you know. Might escape your notice, but most networks responded in the same way to the Gaza war. Reporting on both sides but calling Israel out for intentionally targeting hospitals, schools and infrastructure needed by the civilian population.

Some went a bit far in their reports. Some, as the BBC, simply reported the facts without giving it a spin.

And it's not Israel doing it. It's the Netanjahu administration. Major distinction there. Not everything is black and white, however strongly you like it to be. Ha, Ha, black and white. Might be another thing you're rather sensitive over.

I'd feel more kindly disposed towards Israel if they didn't respond to rock-throwing with artillery fire.

Don't think so. I have an ancestor who was black and came from Sierra Leone.

He fought at what was then a theme ground in Manchester called the "Belle vue", in Manchester. My mother was his great-niece.

I'd feel more sympathy towards Palestinians if Hamas actually infested their money in providing vital resources to their people, rather than spending their millions on a pointless battle that they are simply never going to win. "Those who throw rocks shouldn't live in glass houses", is an expression around my way. If they don't want shit, stop giving it.

Yeah, well and I have jewish ancestors fighting in the Austrian civil war, the Spanish civil war against fascism and built up the republican army before that. Doesn't make me kiss the ground Israel walks on with every dubious decision their administration takes.

Here you go, by the way.

I also have Jewish roots on my fathers side and he was a so-so actor. I will find out his name for you in my family tree on the Ancestor site.

It's easy to get all worked up like Drich is. At the same time, the cumulative effect of that bias makes it easy to not notice and easier to dismiss. The liberal bias is subtle but it is definitely there. If you make a big deal out of it though it seems like over reaction.

The problem with Drippy's assertion is that he is a liar.  Run the search string     afghanistan hostage rescue aborted and you'll find links from:

FOX, USAtoday, the Washington Post, The NY Times, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, CNN, UPI, and the Wall Street Journal.

Your big problem is that you listen to a fuckhead like Dripshit when he runs his mouth.

So, if you throw a rock at me, then I have the moral right to blow up your house and kill your family?
