Sharon wants to boycot BBC.

steissd

By the way, it was not prohibited to listen to BBC in Germany until WWII. It was possible doing it anywhere, including public places without risk having problems with law. (It just wasn't liked in the late 30's.)
But than government stops cooperating with what it declared to be a biased news service and changed the law.
(And thus Thomas Mann reported from outside -the UK- about Germany.)

Well, there are no chances that there ever will be a war between the UK and Israel, so it will be always legal to watch or listen the unscrupulous BBC broadcasts here. More, there is no serious diplomatic crisis in UK-Israeli relationships, since (as it was mentioned by many participants of the current discussion) BBC broadcasts do not literally reflect political stance of the UK government.
The clandestine Commies entrenched in some of the European media will be satisfied with Mr. Sharon only if he orders to IDF to evacuate all the Israeli Jews (including themselves and himself) to another galaxy.

Al least you haven't lost your sense of humor. Clandestine Commies? And i thought we were 2003, seems more like 1953.

Could you please explain "clandestine Commies entrenched in some of the European media"?

Being Jew from Russian descent you may have more in common with Communism that those "clandestine Commies" you despise. ;-)

Obviously, the BBC and others are "the lone voices reporting on issues that directly involve the working class and its organisations".

Oops, this is copyrighted by the "Morning Star" ( aka "The Daily Worker") already (they might try to overtake the BBC, howver!):

I'll say it again, Thank God for the BBC!...
(and I will add PBS and NPR)

The American commercial broadcast and cable media range from the shamelessly right wing (Fox) through the bland corporate pablum pushers (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN).

The latter have shrunk the hard news portion of their 'News' in AM and evening 'news' shows, to about 7-10 minutes with the rest being tabloid stuff, kidnappings, sensational murders and such.
It is really quite shocking if you read the TImes or Washington Post to see how many very very important stories that the cable/broadcast media ignore every day.

Fortunately my local national public radio station carries BBC World News. I can hear it in the AM the PM and at night...and wonder of wonders it's all news folks!!!!!

Thanks to the Deity as well for television news coverage on PBS.
IMO it's the only TV news worthy of the name.

The things that were dangerous in 1953 did not become safe in 2003. My ethnic origin (half-German, half-Jewish) has nothing to do with my political stance. Just like not all the Belgians were soldiers and officers in Degrelle's SS outfit.

Defending the working class is not considered being so cool nowadays. The modern leftists prefer to defend interests of idlers and terrorists from the Third World.

Ask some workers in Berlin and the new German states about this.

We are not attacked by Russian tanks any more!

In fact only the frenchspeaking Belgians joined the "Légion Wallonie" of Degrelle. The Flemish (about 6500) joined, encouraged by the Catholic Church, their own SS legion(Sturmbrigade Langemarck).

I agree with Walter. Europe is a much safer place nowadays. The cold war ending has taken that fear away of a sudden temper tantrum from the Russians and another war. The problems of Ireland are pretty well resolved. The reason ? Cos having persuaded the gunslingers to put their guns away, Ulster began to attract investment. This grew and wealth was seen in the region, people became more prosperous. There is no desire to go back to the days of death.
Europe for all it's internal wrangling is not going to turn into a war zone.
The Middle East has been a war zone for over 50 years. The reason being that Israel wants more and more land. Thus pushing the Palestinians further back and subjugating then in poverty. Perhaps instead, Israel should offer Palestine some prosperity, afterall doesn't Israel get something like 20 billion dollars in aid every year. How about combine harvesters and irrigation pipes instead of gunships and machine guns

Well, I really would like an explanation by steissd about what he meant with "our" communist media.
And now additionally, why he thinks, affairs today are as evil as 1953.
