Source is some political influencer paying Elon Musk for better reach on Twitter who reposted this:

Literally anyone can observe wording in BBC headlines (a side hobby for many) and come up with an image like this. Not really "caught".

    Misk your takes are normally pretty good, but not this time.

    • Pretty much every journalist still uses Twitter, and yes they pay for the blue badge. The BBC themselves pay Twitter even more for a gold badge. You've used loaded language to frame a completely normal thing as a negative to smear this journalist.

    • Owen Jones is not just "some political influencer" (once again loaded language), he is a journalist who writes for The Guardian and contributes to the New Statesman, Tribune, and The National and was previously a columnist for The Independent.

    • If Owen Jones has somehow faked this evidence, the BBC will be coming after him for libel. This is not something he would do for shits and giggles, making such a claim has strong real world implications that he must feel comfortable that he can defend in a court of law.

    I stand corrected. I have trouble with treating people who are still active on Twitter seriously, hence the snark.

    It's understandable, everyone really needs to get off Twitter and stop giving it any legitimacy. I'd even settle for them using BlueSky at this point.

    BBC was especially blatant during Gulf War 2 also.

    I'm a fan of "Hamas-run Ministry of Health" thing they did, which changed only when even UK government was pressured into being mildly concerned with the ongoing genocide.

    Hats off to you sir,not many have caught on to this, and it's not only the bbc, it most of the western media, including Denmark where I'm from, exact same line translated to all languages, as if the live stream of a full on genocide is not enough, we also have to systematically through shade on any casualty numbers, and undermine every source including the UN

    Fucking wild seeing people running to defend the journalistic standards of openly genocidal Zionist BBC in 2026. Have you not learned anything over the past 2+ years of genocide of Palestinians?

    You know how tankies from ML turn up and defend any discussion critical of China and Russia?

    Similarly, there are wankies who's default mode is to believe everything the western media says and use their propaganda taking points and deflect criticism.

    Lemmyverse is a fun place where both get called out.

    Well, it helps that China is not invading any sovereign country or arming and funding genocide in Palestine.

    To learn who rules over you simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.

    You're telling me that pro-genocide Zionist media will not faithfully report on Venezuela? Can't believe it!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's their entire propaganda technique.

    Notice how in the BBC "reporting" the Israelis always "say" or "state" things, whilst the Palestinians only ever "claim" and Israelis "are killed" whilst Palestinians only ever "die".

    This kind of shit, selective reporting and selective agrandizing is pretty much the entire "Opinion Forming" methodology of the BBC.

    Yeah mate, you sure showed them! That'll teach them to belong to... the second largest Lemmy instance.

    Do you think before you comment or is it more like The Sound and The Fury but if Faulkner had a severe brain injury? Trickle of consciousness.

    All these institutions who've built their legacy on "trust" have really shown their true colors over the last 5 years. Maybe it was about integrity at some point but now it's all about pandering to the people in power if not being directly influenced by those in power to abandon their values in favor of producing propaganda for them.

    For those who aren’t acquainted with the right wing “coup” inside the BBC. This short video should help.

    No act of war, no kidnapping, just ignore everything that is happening.

    This being said the day after people said that the BBC is neutral despite its continued biases to people of color, queer, and support of various wars is funny.

    But the BBC does it so it's fine. If you disagree with their mantras of how when your country does it it's good, you're actually pro-[bad country of the year].

    "Captured", "apprehended" - same shit they use for drug dealer stories.

    Captured maybe. Apprehended has the assumption of legal right of capture for justice, and while he is being tried right now, is it the US's jurisdiction to do so? I don't think people would be so upset about how it was done if there are legal justifications.

    I’d totally agree if the reason was that it was clearly a war crime. Alas, it’s just their higher ups are cool with this whole farce.
