Panorama? Or Tunnel Vision? 11:44 - Jul 7 with 14607 viewsDarth_Koont

Well, this confirms my worst fears for Wednesday's Panorama exposé on Labour antisemitism.

At a time when we need balance and perspective to get past the narrative and look at facts, instead we've got a journalist who is one of the chief architects of that narrative ... he's already been accused of doing a Panorama hatchet job against Corbyn in 2015 as well as being repeatedly accused of having a pro-Israel and islamophobic stance in other stories.

That doesn't read well. And looks like the BBC will be doubling down on its generally pretty awful and non-factual reporting around this crisis.

The state of our politics and our media ...

good grief you're desperate.

i think you may be going a bit potty.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

That's an ad hominen attack of the worst kind. You've attacked the man and dismissed the views before you've even seen it.

Given that saying "The state of our politics and our media" isn't really a good line to take given you're doing exactly what you say the media and certain posters here are doing.

Maybe I'm just more cynical and a little less credulous.

And it just confirms what I've already seen from the vast majority of the BBC coverage who will give a platform for someone like Margaret Hodge to present her wonky case but never seem to have the time for those who disagree.

The BBC have just passively reported the accusations as news. Now, when they are supposed to be investigative and actually address evidence ... they choose John Ware ...

That's all just another ad hominen. You've still not waited to see the what is actually said, in fact you've doubled-down on your original assertions.

You accuse others on this board of playing the man not the evidence yet it's fair game for you to do exactly that.

In my opinion you are in too deep on this subject, you need to step back and look at your posts as I don't think you're quite as unbiased as you seem to think. Perhaps it's tunnel vision?

With all due respect Stokie, I'm sure you'd think it odd if the person who was charged with looking into Brexit claims was a Mail reporter with a background of supporting Leave.

Let's wait and see. Here's hoping that the BBC deliberately chose John Ware because his previous positions would take care of the accusation that he's pro-Corbyn. And not because it'll create a clickbaity, hatchety opinion piece.

The evidence is there, look at what Ken Livingstone said and Labour still haven't banned him.

They suspended him and later he resigned over a year ago.

FWIW I think Livingstone was far too glib and disrespectful in how he supported Naz Shah there. His answer to Vanessa Feltz was always going to cause offence. And especially when taken out of context (Feltz brought up the Hitler reference, which is what he was responding to).

But the whole episode should have been a wakeup call to how these high-profile incidents are runaway trains. There should have been a far more robust defence to stop things snowballing and being taken and subsequently used in the worst way possible.

I understand that Labour actually missed the 10 day deadline in which they were given to respond to allegations in the Panorama doc.

As for DK linking the Corbyn supporting Skwarkbox attacking one of the journos behind Wednesday's episode. Lots of journalists and researches are involved in making this sort of program and it will have to meet BBC standards. Plus its going to include first hand testimony from Jewish Labour members and ex employees.

DK has lost all credibility on here. At best, he is a defender and apologist for racism. I'm amazed he's allowed to get away with it so often.

Sure, let's see.

But I think it's fair to ask questions about impartiality and integrity. It's already a hugely lop-sided "debate" because of a lack of balance and objectivity. John Ware doesn't inspire confidence that is going to change any time soon.

Fancy looking at the other side of the story? Addressing the factual evidence? No, course you don't.

Seriously? You have spent the last few months bleating about how the piss poor documentary the Lobby proves Israel is behind the allegations of anti semitism in the Labour party. The Lobby was produced by anti Israeli Al Jazeera, state funded ny those loveable antisemitdees and homophobes in Qatar, and included interviews with people suspended and expelled by the Labour party for antisemitism.

Now you are attacking a documentary that hasn't even aired yet because it was made by John Ware who you believe to be pro Israeli and anti Corbyn.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds.
