Iranian TV and the BBC

Harry's Place notes with disappointment the BBC's kid glove handling of Press TV over revelations that Iran has built another secret nuclear facility.

"The BBC are at this very moment interviewing an employee of Press TV on Radio 5 Live, who is suggesting that the concerns about Iran’s nuclear aspirations are spin to strengthen Obama’s position and who is arguing against sanctions. The interview is being conducted as though the journalist is a objective uninvolved commentator.

The BBC are not telling their listeners that Press TV are a Iranian government funded operation, the station’s slavish support of the regime, and the problems they have had with impartiality.

Disappointing."


This will come as no surprise to those who have read my case against the BBC.

After having help set up al Jazeera, the BBC were only too happy to help set up Press TV, Iran's state run propaganda news orgainzation, to help spread left wing propaganda. al Jazeera, Press TV, the BBC - what's the difference?

U.S. Says Iran Ended Atomic Arms Work

The New York Times reported two years ago.

"WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 — A new assessment by American intelligence agencies concludes that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that the program remains frozen, contradicting judgment two years ago that Tehran was working relentlessly toward building a nuclear bomb. "


Discovering Iran's secret nuclear plant September 2009

Oops!

Here's what the New York Times said in their 2007 article.

"The new report comes out just over five years after a deeply flawed N.I.E. concluded that Iraq possessed chemical and biological weapons programs and was determined to restart its nuclear program — an estimate that led to congressional authorization for a military invasion of Iraq, although most of the report’s conclusions turned out to be wrong. "


So, if the intelligence services were so wrong about Iraq, why was the New York Times so eager to believe them about Iran? Oh, I think you know the answer to that one.

BBC falsely accuses US for Iranian crashes

Every time there's a plane crash in Iran, the BBC blames America.

"Sanctions imposed on the country by the US mean both public and private airlines rely on ageing fleets and have trouble sourcing replacement parts, says the BBC's Jon Leyne. "


There's just one problem with this BBC propaganda.

"It was reported to be a Russian-built Ilyushin aircraft. "


Same for last weeks crash.

"On 15 July, all 168 passengers and crew on board a Caspian Airlines Tupolev Tu-154 plane died in a crash in Qazvin province, about 75 miles (120km) north-west of Tehran. "


Russia doesn't recognize American sanctions which only apply to US companies anyway.

Obama takes credit for the Iran revolution

But Obama said he didn't want to meddle. As always, Obama and the Democrats want to have it both ways.

Now let's see, what other country just won its freedom in the region? Oh yeah, Iraq! Iran's neighbor! Ok, help me out here, who freed Iraq? Well bless my soul, it was Bush.
