As someone born before WWII who recognises the value of the BBC during those difficult times I'm deeply disappointed at the pro-Israeli bias and the selective reporting in some of its current news coverage.

Aabsolutely disgusted by the BBC's refusal to allow the Green Party on the debate. Yet allow the newly formed (only just got an mp), hate fueled UKIP a place. This is supposed to be am opportunity to educate the public on their choices, ams you are removing and showing enormous bias in doing this. BBC; pushers of the blatant, and not all well disguised right wing parties.

So sad. Once BBC reporting was synonymous with reliability, but those days are gone. Especially, but not only, in relation to Palestine/Israel news. I do not see why tax-payers money should be allocated to a service that is unreliable, unbalanced and biased.

My concern is that I can recognise the BBC bias in its reporting of the Palestine / Israel conflict as it is something I have studied for a long time. However, regarding other areas of news with which I’m not so familiar, I may not be able to recognise the BBC bias. I’m sure if it exists in one area of reporting it will do so in others.

I used to trust the BBC to present news issues in a balanced way. Events like this, however, together with 'l'affare Savile' et al, have led me to believe that the BBC is inward-looking, self-serving and biased in the extreme. Time for a change, I think.

I pay my licence fee to get balanced news. More and more the BBC seems to be the stenographer of power. It is losing its once esteemed cachet and is regarded by most people as merely a mouthpiece for the right wing, either in this country or abroad.

This is the UK, not Russia.

Habitual and scandalous are the omissions with regard to this racist and exploitative entity
