Just wanted to point out how quickly the story of the storming of the EU offices was taken down from the Beeb’s Middle East section on the News website. It was first merely squeezed into the other stories list and then in the blink of an eye removed from the page altogether. In contrast, a story such as ‘One killed in Israeli air strike’ was first entered as a headline with a picture and was then left on the page in the ‘More from Middle East’ list for several days if not a week. The tactics and strategies of the BBC’s news website’s editors are truly fascinating and they have perfected the art of getting their readers to focus only on the stories they want them to. Thought it was worth pointing out.
It is.
