Shocking Upset!

BBC delivered an eye-watering 1500 journalistic deceptions about Israel to beat the NYT and take home the gold in the disinformation olympics last year.

Over the weekend, the Telegraph reported that the BBC “breached guidelines 1,500 times over Israel-Hamas war.” 

The journalistic guidelines the BBC breached were its own, demonstrating that the corruption in the newsroom has metastasized and spread to the brain. 

But, in many ways, this is old news. 

The mainstream media has been miscovering this war since the beginning, and no serious observer of the war reads articles from the BBC or the New York Times without first ingesting a healthy pint of salt. 

Yet these are still the major forums through which most people around the world get their news. They are the fountainhead of the media, and however they report a story is how that story will be told around the world. 

And the story they have been telling about Israel is a lie. 

Plain and simple. 

And I know that story is a lie because they violated their own code of conduct to tell it that way. 

And now that lie is rattling around in the minds of English-speaking news readers around the world. 

But we must also give credit where credit is due. 

The BBC violated their journalistic precepts 1500 times since October 7th. 

That’s an eye-watering average of five deceptions per day. 

The New York Times could only dream of putting up numbers like that. 

And so, it has to be said: the BBC is the greatest distorter of journalistic accuracy of all time. 

They are, simply, the GOAT. 

But we ought to pause for a minute and consider how this could have happened, because publications do not just start putting up these kinds of numbers overnight. 

It takes years of practice to perfect their distortions. 

So how many years has the BBC been distorting the Israel/Palestine narrative? 5? 10? 50? 

And how did they develop so much camaraderie on the editorial staff that every single editor was on always on the same page? 

Think about it. 

Every single time a BBC journalist submitted an article that violated the paper’s ethical codes, there was always an editor who was ready to look the other way, or even possibly encourage them! 

You just don’t see that kind of cohesion in most companies these days, you just don’t. 

Of course, the effects of this record-setting campaign against journalistic integrity will be far-reaching, and, indeed, one can already see the way the BBC’s new gameplan has changed the culture. 

In London, there are now separate buses for Jews to take so that they will not get harassed. 

The BBC should count this as a personal victory, and the city of London should consider dedicating the new buses to the editors in charge of the BBC. 

Before this year, it was impossible to imagine that a liberal western city would take the side of violent assailants over the people whom they were assailing. 

But that is what a year of consistency and hard work can do.

The BCC accused Israel of committing war crimes 127 times, and they only allowed Hamas to be accused of war crimes 30 times. 

Hamas, whose entire existence is a war crime, was accused 4 times less than Israel! 

Four times! 

But that was not even the most impressive stat of the year for the BBC. 

A lot of people are commenting on their genocide numbers (283 over 19), but, honestly, with the new rules this season, everyone was hitting the genocide numbers out of the park. 

What was really special about this year for the BBC was their “Breach of International Law” numbers. 

167 against Israel. 

27 against Hamas. 

These numbers are really special.

For one thing, Hamas does not even claim to abide by internal law. They are a terrorist organization whose very existence is a violation of international law. It is even a violation of international law to do any kind of business with them. 

For another, every day of this war that Hamas has held hostages has been another violation of international law. Not to mention the fact that the International Red Cross has not even gone to check on the hostages. 

For the past 11 months, Hamas has been in constant violation of international law. 

Unless, of course, you read the BBC. 

And that is what a true commitment to one-sided journalism and moral obfuscation can do. 

It can take a highly reputable, highly respectable newsroom, and it can turn it into a propaganda printing machine. 

It was a bad bust for people like me who bet on the New York Times to take home the gold in the disinformation olympics this year, but the BBC just had everybody’s number this year. 

Congratulations to the BBC. No one thought they could misinform the public so completely and so efficiently, but they proved us all wrong.

I cannot wait to see how they build on this success next year. Who knows, they may even be able to stir up enough antisemitic violence in England to get all of the Jews to flee. 

But I would not count the New York Times out just yet. Remember, they were the first publication to falsely claim that the Al-Shifra hospital was bombed by Israel last October, and that one deception alone set off a global day of antisemitic hatred. 

And we know that they are just seething after losing this year’s title to the BBC.

But that was last year. 

As we get ready for the second year of this war, these two major publications are preparing to spread even more deception and disinformation in the global pageant of virtue signaling than they did last year. 

I cannot wait to see how they will outdo themselves next year.
