I’m surprised that people even relate to BBC as it is a well known fact that BBC stands for (please excuse me for writing this but I’m trying to be as accurate as possible)
BBC = Bullshit Broadcasted Continuously

It is no wonder that the BBC would do this. Remember, it was Great Britain that decided to divide up Jerusalem instead of giving the whole thing to Israel. Israel had a claim to Jerusalem long before the Muslims. Mohammed wasn’t even born until around 600 A.D.
God bless Jerusalem, and God bless Israel.

What a ridiculous story.
Its a bulldozer in Israel. At the point the news was breaking they don’t have a clue whether the driver is greek or scottish or whatever. He could be a tourist on holiday who’s gone nuts.
As such, Israel bulldozer driver seems a fair description
When an innocent Brazilian was shot dead in a London tube, the BBC was busy trotting out UK govt spin – we were told he was a muslim suicide bomber who vaulted barriers and ran from police.
Where was this BBC bias that day?
You paranoid loonies need to take off your tin foil hats. There is no conspiracy. You sound like idiots printing tosh like this.

Dear Tonto:
Nothing hurts like your own shoe a couple of sizes too small.
Yes, when attacked right at home, terror has a much more frightening face; that’s why the BBC jumped to the conclusion of an “Islamic suicide bomber.” Their own behinds were on the line! In the heat of the moment they simply made a wrong assumption.
That is not how the BBC covers Israel and its struggle against her enemies. (It may be news to some in Britain, but Israel’s enemies are Britain’s enemies as well.) Perhaps it has something to do with T.S. Lawrence and “romance of the noble Arab.” Well, that notion – even though it lingers – is quite passe. Britain better wake up from its stupor, stop being so “neutral” in its treatment of Israel and recognize it as a friend in need and in deed.

BBC and Honest Reporting… It make me laugh. Everybody knows that the BBC is lead by a pro-Arab team (read Al-Jezeera) so what would you expect?! I do not watch the BBC because their repoting is biased not only when Israel is the topic. I want to see the BBC reporting when England becomes an Islamic Kingdom.

In Brazil what BBC is doing is called brown journalism. I guess everybody knows what brown reminds of… it starts with a big S. No matter how educated one is, one does it too…

As tiresome as it is to have to keep refuting such biased reporting, we dare not stop. Surely, any decent, intelligent person can recognise ant-semitism as blatant as that ?

The British should have learned by now that the Palestinians have breed “mad dogs” not sheep dogs or guard dogs. We need to conduct some “leadership Palestine” classes instead of lying about their poor behavior. Let them join the civilized community or lets help them get the hell out. Bob Poplar

Billions of $ from Muslim Arabs are pooring into London. The English Foreign Office (Orientalists) has never forgiven Israel for kicking it out of the ME.
These are enough reasons for the BBC and the Orientalists to act the way they do. Even the last prime minister gave in the Saudis.

A few people have commented that the headline is accurate. The problem is not with the headline’s accuracy. The problem is that the BBC presents the fundamental story as being the shooting of the bulldozer driver, not the bulldozer rampage. The primary story should be the bulldozer rampage, as in the amended headline; it should not be the actions taken to stop the rampage.

Everyone has their agenda. BBC’s has always been to vilify Israel, and HR’s seems to be to vilify the BBC. While the BBC is certainly not without blame, HR still chose to slant its article in the direction of the BBC’s initial response, when it could just as easily have focused on the speed with which the BBC amended its initial response.
People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.

I think that the initial report was pure speculation and for that no blame is awarded to the BBC. However, the follow up stories di not rectify the speculation and merely highlighted the driver shot dead and not the innocent people killed by this individual.It is high time that the BBC sorted out their bias against israel. Report the facts without fear, or rather leave it to real reporters, who have some integrity.

E-mailing BBC does no good. They continue with their biased reporting. Since they are funded by the British people, shouldn’t comments and requests be directed instead to the British Parliament and government leaders?

In the interests of Honest Reporting, you should withdraw this allegation. The screen grab you have printed is of a specific video clip for those who want to see a clip about the shooting.
All 19 versions of the actual news story published by the BBC are avilable on the Revisionista website http://www.newssniffer.co.uk/articles/134685/diff/0/1
This shows that the headline started at Bulldozer ‘rampage’ in Jerusalem and changed to Deadly Jerusalem bulldozer attack
I understand how sensitive many supporters of Israel are to suggestions of BBC bias, but on this occasion you have got it very wrong.

Once again we can see anti Israel bias in BBC, no change, since once I saw Tim Sebastian in Hardtalk I never again watched the BBC…

The Palestinian Youth Organization of the UK is apparently going to take the Brit. Government to Court for the Balfour Delaration, blaming the UK for their ‘nakba’. Let the Brits. admit how hard they tried to stop Israel from being born! The BBC’s bias is just a continuation of the Brits.’ policies. Thank God for Australia and America and Israel.

During the WWII, I used to listen to the BBC every day , despite the interdiction, because this BBC represented the good against the evil(nazis)
Today, I am sorry to tell that the BBC is no longer a reliable and honest media, as it should be.
This bulldozer attack by a Palestinian terrorist is mispresented by the BBC journalist, always against ISRAEL.
Sorry, to tell you that BBC lost its credibility.
