BBC News Moves to the Bunker
January 14, 2013 10:16 by Simon Plosker
It appears that BBC News may have reached a new low. According to the Daily Mail:
The BBC’s new multi-million pound television news studio has been built to be bomb proof to protect journalists from suicide attacks.
The news room sits in a bunker under the main reception at the £1 billion New Broadcasting House.
Staff have been assured they would be protected from a blast should a suicide bomber walk through the front door at the central London facility.
A BBC source told The Sunday Express: ‘It’s directly underneath so if a suicide bomber came in the front door they would be right over it. We’ve been assured it’s bomb proof.’
And we thought that the BBC would have difficulty recognizing terror if it walked through their front door.

Seems Bbc does care when it comes to their own, but not when such danger of terrorism comes to the innocent in Israel! Then true analysis often goes out of the window, contravening normal rules of journalism. Who in the Bbc is the cause of such institutional bias?!
Blessed are the peacemakers!

I thought suicide bombers were legitimate statements of resistance against the instruments of a repressive regime. Is the BBC admitting they are the lackeys of a repressive regime like Britain that they should worry about a suicide bomber?

As the British Bullsh#t Corporation haven’t yet come across islamic suicide bombers I wonder if they’re concerned about Israeli’s policy of targeted killings.

Maybe oppressed people are fighting back ? That is what the BBC tells us is going on in Israel as Jews are murdered in Sderot. I found it interesting that in order to make Israel appear to be a sinister gangster state it portrayed Israel’s attacks on HAMAS in Gaza as attacks on children.When Israel went into action defending itself during OPERATION CAST LEAD ,the BBC proclaimed that the bombing began as school children were released from school.Protecting yourself against killers is good for the goose but not for Israel.The BBC has one standard for itself and another for Israel.
