I am writing this only a few days after the Flotilla incident in which
Israeli comandos slaughtered at least 9 humanitarian civilians on boarding
ilagally a vessel headed for Gaza.
Lets take One such "Un-biased" Media outlet, the BBC, spokes-vehicle for the
Government ...
the apparently "unbiased" Outlet failed in its tone in to condemn outright the
atrocity preffering instead in taking a ringside seat .... On one particular
radio station any mention of criticism of Israel was labelled as unhelpful
to dialogue and the caller quicky cut .... and the radio presenter on
BBC London foccussng on the Israel-Palestinian conflict ... a matter blurred
in understanding for the masses ..
A few days later the focus switched to Iran and Other conflicts quickly forgetting
the actions of Israel and any condemnations and sanctions by the so called
United Nations ....
We have spoken on this blog about the influence of Media in culture and
nurturing opinion in a reflexive way ...but this is an example in a different
perspective in how "thoughts of the day" are quickly put in check by even the
"so called" Media ....
