Those of us who follow mideast coverage closely have long observed that the BBC has one of the worst records when it comes to balance and objectivity.

Reality: How can you trust the cowardly Robert Fisk?
The left-wing media in the USA and abroad has been using their networks as a platform to promote their socialist agenda for many years. Lies! Lies! And, more Lies—along with biased coverage. What can we do to shut these people down? Let’s boycott and hope we hurt them financially. Fox News gives us the best coverage.
