My complaint to the BBC regarding DEC appeal.

My letter to the BBC
(copy if you wish, http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complaints_stage1.shtml)
I wish to complain about your continuing refusal to broadcast the DEC's emergency appeal for Gaza. The fact that other channels including Channel 4, ITV and Channel 5 are showing the appeal tonight shows how isolated and extreme the BBC is on this issue. As of yesterday I believe you had received over 11,000 complaints. That figure is bound to be far higher by now, given how there is now virtually unanimous agreement across the full spectrum of opinion in Britain that you must reverse this disgraceful decision. I urge you to show this non-political, humanitarian appeal.

BBC Gaza DEC appeal scandal

"The BBC says it cannot show the appeal [for the Palestinians] by the Disasters Emergency Committee because it does not want to compromise its commitment to impartiality" intones a BBC spin-droid.

But health minister Ben Bradshaw, a former BBC journalist, said it was 'an inexplicable decision' and that the reasons given were 'completely feeble'."
So even NuLabour can see that this decision was not good. Damn right. The reason given for exclusion was that it might show bias; but the exclusion itself is evidence of totally unacceptable bias.
