BBC Break their own rules to bash Israel TWICE

It seems there are no boundaries for Israel-hating BBC. It is a rule of BBC 5Live messageboard that only ONE thread is allowed about a news item. Except BBC just broke their rules on a news item (five days old) whereby Reuters expressed their opinions about a cameraman caught up in the Israel Palestinian conflict.

The BBC have allowed this subject to be discussed TWICE and have eben allowed the use of the SAME BBC source twice. This is against their own rules concerning posting at the messageboard.

One of their rules for removing a message or thread  states:-

  • Are considered to be ‘spam’, that is posts containing the same. or similar, message posted multiple times
  • It is well-known that if you post a thread that someone else has started then the subsequent threads are removed.

    BUT NOT IF YOUR THREAD BASHES ISRAEL. IT SEEMS THE BBC WILL BREAK THEIR OWN RULES!!

    Here is thread One http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfivelive/F2148565?thread=5776061 - from the same day as the news item appeared.

    Here is thread TWO which shouldn't be allowed by BBC Rules http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbfivelive/F2148565?thread=5791715

    They reference THE SAME BBC NEWS ITEM!!!!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/7560672.stm dated 14th August. Today is 19th August - its not even News anymore.

    Demand to know from the BBC why they have allowed this in contravention of their rules despite at least one complaint having been made to the BBC Moderators. Maximum Publicity Please!
