That the bias is exhibited in many minor ways is additionally telling. In addition to the bigger pieces of evidence for their chronic pro-Israel slants, they prove it almost every time I flip them on and the issue is the Mid-east. Who else but the BBC would, under the guise of a "discussion" of Middle East relations and Israel/ Palestine issues on their BBC radio program, "World Have Your Say", find and feature an Israeli rabbi demanding compensation for property of the jewish community of Iraq that was lost to those jews who left that country, interrupting and diverting the dialogue away from the injustices the country he represented perpetrated and perpetrates against Palestinians? They are, borne from bias, carelessly asleep at the wheel, negligently disposed to not doing decent work on the issue and arrogantly dismissive of the quite evident problem they regularly have pointed out to them. Their very marrow is infested with pro-Israel bias, in every nook and cranny, at every turn, in some part of every story they do. They are biased in big ways and small.

You can’t believe a word they say’ he told AFP. What was so important about this statement was that Capt. Boston was not just talking about the past, but about the present and future as well. ‘They’ve completely infested the entire Intelligence and Defense apparatus of the United States’ he said. ‘Perle, Feith, Wolfowitz, and all the rest of them…They’re spies for Israel, every damned one of them’ he said. ‘Just consider the 5 guys who were arrested after 9/11, cheering and celebrating, and then afterwards we come to find out that they were Mossad and then they get sent back to Israel. They knew all about it and yet our government, the government I worked for most of my life did nothing about it. Can you imagine if these guys were Arabs?’ he asked. ‘It’s been the same thing, ever since 1967’ he said with unmistakable aggravation. ‘Protect Israel, protect Israel…In the meantime, our boys are dying over there and those who don’t die are coming back here with all sorts of problems, both physical and psychological’.
