But the author of the article makes the mistake of assuming that Sky News Arabia is not at all representative of the main Sky News franchise. She clearly has not been following the main Sky News' coverage of Israel since 2005 (when Israel-hating James Murdoch** took over). Here are some examples of stories about Sky News bias that I have written over the years. Their systematic anti-Israel bias is actually worse than the BBC and, unlike the BBC, they normally ignore formal complaints completely.
- Sky News declares war on Israel
- So dead children associated with UN Schools in Gaza are no longer of interest for the main stream media
- UK Media follows the script: blames Israel for Hamas breaking ceasefire
- Reply from Sky News about anti-Israel complaint
- Sky News promoting an anti-semite
- Now Sky News piles in with blood libel against Israel
- Appalling anti-Israel propaganda on Sky News today
- Sky News and its new found anti-Israel bias
- Sky News ambush on Chief Rabbi
"when Israel-hating James Murdoch took over"
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that James Murdoch is anti-Israel, after all, his father (I suppose) is or at least was conservative leaning pro-Israel. can you give a link to a proof?
On another matter, Edgar, your excellent blog suffers because of the outdated and inconvenient commenting system, as opposed to the likes of DisQus, etc that allow instant and easy commenting. Pls just don't go for facebook's comment plug, some people (me!) refuse to bow to facebook, Disqus allows anyone to comment.
God Bless Israel!
Asherpat: I have added a couple of links about James Murdoch.
ReplyDeleteRegarding comments: I will try to set up disqus commenting (i didn't realise until I just checked that this could be possible with google blogger)
