kind of weird that our national broadcaster didn’t stream or report on south africa’s arguments presented at the ICJ yesterday and yet today there was extensive live coverage of the case made by so-called israel

#this is sarcasm #i know the same could be said of sky news but this is particularly bad for the bbc because of their supposed impartiality #the bbc #israel #palestine #south africa #admin dominique

This is horrifying.

And a sad reminder that major news broadcasters, especially the BBC, are NOT impartial and they do present a biased view.

The BBC in particular has become increasingly right-wing in recent years.

But creating made up stories to give a flimsy excuse for a military megapower to bomb a hospital! Truly a new low.

This is not journalism. This is aiding a right-wing government commit genocide.

This is unforgivable.

Bombing a hospital is a war crime.

Even Tumblr is prompting me with 'hamas builds secret tunnels under hospital' tag for posts, @staff This is spreading misinformation and the dehumanisation of Palestinians; if everyone is a terrorist then no one is a victim, that is the goal. To dehumanise and ethnically cleanse one entire group of people.

That is a genocide.

We must call for a ceasefire and free Palestine.

DW 60th Anniversary 14th Doctor Theory

I tried to look to see if anyone else had this thought, and I didn't see it, but I just want to say-before destroy y'all's hearts-I'm sorry, I'm so, so, sorry.

I, as much as everyone else, am so excited about seeing David Tennant back as the Doctor. But apparently because I like to hurt myself, my brain immediately was like, "Damn, now we have to say goodbye again!" Which like, totally sucks in and of itself but then it got me thinking...

We've had David leave us twice as the Doctor-the first time was his very first regeneration of course, and then again on the 50th Anniversary, when he gets back in his Tardis to fly off somewhere. Both of these times, he's said the infamous words that break hearts everywhere. "I don't want to go." (David you're an ass, we adore you).

I've given this some thought, and even though those seem to be his "parting words" each time, and it SUCKS each time, I think it's going to be worse. I think this man will find a way to look dead into the camera, like he's talking directly to us and say,

"It's time for me to go now...and y'know, I think I'm ok with that."

AND I SWEAR TO F**** GOD DAVID, HOW MANY TIMES THIS YEAR WILL YOU GO AROUND BREAKING OUR HEARTS!?!?!?!?!

Anyway, sorry it's so long, but I've been thinking about this for a while.

Asmaa Al-Allak’s memories of Iraq are woven into her very fabric

Head bent in concentration, tape measure slung around her neck, young Asmaa Al-Allak often knelt on the floor amid piles of colourful fabric even as rockets whistled above the family home in southern Iraq.

The seven-year-old would take in every detail of her mother and grandmother flicking through pages of their favourite fashion magazine and discussing the sewing patterns for each outfit featured in that month’s issue.

While the two women traced templates on to bolts of material, Asmaa mimicked them in miniature on remnants for arguably the best-dressed Sindy doll in war-torn Basra.

Four decades later, childhood memories like these compelled Al-Allak to become a contestant on The Great British Sewing Bee 2023, a reality TV show she won in an achievement that, for her, topped even attaining a medical degree.

“Creativity is in the genes,” she tells Tahira Yaqoob of The National, laughing over a zoom call from Wales, where the consultant breast surgeon, now 47, lives with her engineer husband and children, Sophia, 20, and Jacob, eight.

"Of course, if Mr. Finnemore had the courage of his convictions, he would use the opportunity to attack the true source of evil in the world, which is of course, in the official opinion of the BBC, the BBC."

I remember also seeing somewhere that someone said RTD would have to put blood, sweat, and tears into proving that people wouldn’t be showing up to the BBC with pitchforks and torches for them to even consider having a trans character who was as well represented as Rose. However, I should also point out that I know absolutely nothing about the BBC since I’m a born and raised American, so I could definitely be wrong on how true that is (even though I absolutely would not be surprised if it is). But also if it is true, rounds of applause because I can bet most media networks here still could never for a good handful of years.

Basically I think the fact that it was only 144 complaints out of over 7 million people watching is very telling that whatever proof RTD probably had to show to the BBC was 100% solidified. Dude proved that it really is just the conspiracy nuts and people of the Fox News religion that make the world seem like it’s worse than it is.

Yeah so the BBC is public funded TV rather than relying on advertising for income so their whole deal is that they SHOULD be representing all tax payers in their programming. A lot of older conservative people tend to forget this and feel that anything that deviates from the "norm" is an incorrect use of "their money" so they get on their high horses and complain like the snowflakes they are.

The BBC SHOULD be pushing boundaries and taking risks with their stuff, but they are still resistant and no where near as forward thinking as say Channel 4 - whose whole deal was about pushing boundaries and attracting a younger more liberal audience.

I can well believe RTD had to fight for Rose's inclusion but the truth is the "trans panic" is very much an invention of the right wing media, right wing politicians, and hateful assholes like JK Rowling. Regular people in the UK quite frankly don't give a shit. They may get irritated for a bit when a new click bait article appears with some incendiary comment like "nurses no longer allowed to call female people "women" and have to refer to everyone by their genitalia" which we know is a bullshit twist on the truth but after rolling their eyes and having a few morons go on facebook rants, no one is gathering pitchforks and torches in the UK with a mind to round up and attack all trans people. Yes there is potentially a rise in hate crimes DUE TO the medias trans panic invention, but I hope that the minimal complaints and the popularity of that episode can at least show some trans people that the UK is not as bad as it has been made out to be these past few years.

Thats also partly why i have commented on two posts about the 144 complaints now, because i can see trans people on tumblr getting upset about it when in the bigger picture its totally irrelevant and nothing to be worried about. You are just as likely to be taken in by the media's fake trans panic as anyone else, but young fearful trans people are more likely to get upset by it when its all been blown out of proportion. 144 complaints is a regular episode of Eastenders. The BBC wont pay attention to that nonsense so please take comfort in that.
