In today’s Jerusalem Post, Stephen Pollard argues that boycotting the BBC would be counter-productive:
But the idea that the BBC’s bias would change if it was denied access to press conferences and Israeli officials is risible. The BBC’s bias is the result of a pervasive contemporary left-liberal mindset, which holds that Israel is at best a bully and at worst illegitimate as a nation….
Boycotts do not work against organizations such as the BBC, whose existence and funding are guaranteed by British law and which are driven by a conviction in their inherent superiority.
