Back in November 2012 we had a visit from someone calling themselves ‘Soothsayer’ (allegedly posing as BBC man Raffi Berg)…apparently he is an Israeli subversive who has infiltrated the BBC to push the Zonist agenda…and we’ve been helping him out as Sue at the ‘pro-Israeli’ ‘Is the BBC biased’ site relates.
And now we’ve been rumbled and so has Raffi:
According to Electronic Intifada, the emails were originally posted onto the Zionist website Biased BBC on 21 November 2012 by a user going by the name “soothsayer”. They were reposted on another pro-Israeli website, Is the BBC biased?, on 13 April this year.
Good to know that we were wrong about Purnell and Co…not Labour lackeys…..they are, like us, ‘Zionist Pimps.’….not only that but ‘notorious’ to boot….
Berg is not the only Israel pimp working at the BBC. Others include the notorious Zionist James Purnell, who in February this year was put in charge of BBC policy and strategy, and the head of BBC News, James Harding.
Raffi Berg is relatively junior compared to Purnell and Harding, the audacity and blatantness with which he is trying to shape the BBC News website’s coverage of the Palestine-Israel conflict is a cause for grave concern and should be urgently investigated by an independent authority.
Yes indeed….Guess that’s just another case of BBC bias then that we’re happy to pass along.
Small world…remember Mike Berry from Cardiff University who just recently was telling us that the BBC is in fact ‘right wing’?
He gets an admiring mention from this anti-Zionist rabble above:
Seven years ago the BBC’s governing body commissioned an independent report which concluded that BBC coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict “does not consistently constitute a full and fair account of the conflict but rather, in important respects, presents an incomplete and in that sense misleading picture”. The reasons for this have long been the subject of serious academic studies, the best known of which is Greg Philo’s and Mike Berry’s More Bad News from Israel.
Might just be that academic Mike Berry is the cuckoo in the BBC nest and not old Raffi.
It seems like soothsayer was posting emails from Raffi Berg, not posing as Berg himself. Possibly a BBC employee letting us know that the BBC put a Jew in a position to tell his biased journalists to stop being dishonest in exactly the way we all complain they are. Or that the Jew is forcing his impartial journalists to start pushing Israeli propaganda, and we’re wrong about there being an anti-Israel slant at the BBC. I have no idea what his/her purpose was to post those here.
1st email (paraphrased): Stop saying it all started when Israel hit back.
2nd email (paraphrased): Stop saying it’s the Israeli Blockade, and start mentioning Gaza’s border with Egypt and who controls it. Stop blaming only the Jews.
These emails are considered Zionist propaganda by the Electronic Intifada, and perhaps quite a few BBC employees. How else to explain that this is the sort of thing the BBC uses as proof of their overall balance and impartiality, that they get complaints from both sides? But we’ve just been seeing things that aren’t there this whole time, right?
Occam’s razor bud. Its an advice email sent to staff during the during an intense period of coverage. Its guidance for journalists, pointing out complaints. The rest of this guff you have invented. If anything its evidence of attempts to be impartial, and responding to complaints from licence fee payers.
How it wasnt obvious to the site what the posts were is mind-boggling.
‘How else to explain that this is the sort of thing the BBC uses as proof of their overall balance and impartiality, that they get complaints from both sides?’
You say this a lot. It doesn’t.
‘But we’ve just been seeing things that aren’t there this whole time, right? ‘
You mean like this; ‘Possibly a BBC employee letting us know that the BBC put a Jew in a position to tell his biased journalists to stop being dishonest in exactly the way we all complain they are.’
or this; ‘These emails are considered Zionist propaganda by …..perhaps quite a few BBC employees.’
BBC Watch has also covered this story
Iran’s Press TV claims army of pro-Israel propagandists occupy BBC
Same story from Galloways Iranian employers “Press T.V.”…..Some of the comments are priceless below the story..

‘Some of the comments are priceless below the story.’
They are indeed.
And untroubled by any corrective posts from the BBC truth and integrity brigades that haunt other forums to catch any claim or opinion that might be, as such, pants.
At least, that last long. It’s possible that there may be moderation afoot to avoid any chance of being reported as the wrong kind of hate site…

That is one of the things I like about presstv is the pro Israel propagadist are weeded out.On some sites they post constant obvious pro Israel garbage 24 hours a day.

Might have been a very subtle false flag, mind. But It did get its likes, as did the follow up.
Which must miff the Flokkers there no end, assuming there are any.
Jeremy Bowen is Jewish?! *cough splutter*
Some of the comments indeed! Where is this invisibility cloak which is being used as a front for a second 9/11 to provoke an attack on Iran? I’ve heard some daft conspiracy theories in my time but that one was a corker!
Talking of conspiracy theories, I have just been on their site, the government now know, they will be knocking on the door any minute aaarrrggghhhh etc.
So it was the Elders of Zion who wanted the Balen Report censored……
My previous comment didn’t show up. Errm… Test?
kelvin mckensie said and he is right that radio 5 live has an army of middle class professional left wing socalist workers party type callers who phone up nicky campbells and vicky derbyshires show day after day,week after week,month after month with there socalist left wing claptrap,they come on nicky and vickys phone ins daily,you can recognise there posh student type moaning voices,they have infiltrated radio 5 live lock stock and 2 smoking barrels.
And then there is the lot who infest this site, mainly refugees from the now-defunct BBC messageboards.

Many have (self-confessed) mental problems and are on benefits, on whose behalf they campaign vociferously, and the rest are mainly teachers and lecturers or civil servants, all overpaid and determined to stay that way.
At least the demise of the Al JaBeeba MB’s has reduced their visibility, which is a small blessing.
Just proves the point: the BBC claims to get attacked ‘from both sides’ but their leftist critics are always people who think the Jews faked September 11 so they could invade the Amazon and steal their fish.
It’s like arguing that Dianne Abbot isn’t fat because there’s some guy in Ohio who weighs 50 stone.
The silence from defenders of the indefensible and lurking journalists on this one is unsurprising.
As was their total silence on the Egypt destroying Gaza tunnels story yesterday.
Perhaps they have been ordered by their controllers to cease their wasted efforts on this site as their replies usually just confirm everything that some of us think is wrong with the BBC.
Or perhaps its just self-aggrandisement on your part:
The act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one’s own importance, power, or reputation.
With a little conspiracy theory element thrown in?
“self-aggrandisement on your part: The act or practice of enhancing or exaggerating one’s own importance, power, or reputation. With a little conspiracy theory element thrown in?”
You are not a nice person. Yeah, Yeah. We get it. Now stop talking about the man in the mirror for a moment and try to focus on the issue at hand, namely BBC reporting.
Thinking that there’s a team of bbc staff employed to respond to your comments on a blog – gives a.sense of your inflated sense of your own importance. Like you’re somehow making a difference.
Along with a poor grasp of thread coherence, irony not a strong point with the ‘B’ team either.
Eh, no, that one missed my bat.
Can happen.
