The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is considered the crown jewel of “public” broadcasting. All global journalism in English seeks to mimic it. That’s not a good thing, since it is rife with leftist bias, and on the Israel-Hamas war, it can be difficult to distinguish from Al-Jazeera.
At FoxNews.com, lawyer Trevor Asserson explained his research into anti-Israel bias, and how the BBC “flunks Journalism 101.” Like PBS and NPR in America, the BBC is legally obliged to produce impartial news. For this, it is rewarded with $5 billion a year by British taxpayers. (PBS and NPR surely envy that.)
Asserson and a team of about 20 lawyers and 20 data scientists used artificial intelligence to analyze nine million words from the BBC on TV, radio, podcasts, and social media, starting on October 7, 2023 — when Hamas slaughtered innocent Israeli citizens and others (including Americans). At the MRC, we wouldn’t trust software to substitute for human reading, but knowing the BBC’s patterns, we doubt a different result.
In BBC’s English language TV output, they found while some programs were neutral, the remainder were between 90% and 100% pro-Palestinian/anti-Israeli.
The BBC broke almost every rule in its own rule-book — the ‘Editorial Guidelines.’ They use BBC as a platform for Hamas sympathizers, and Hamas members; they report death figures they know to be wrong without adequately conveying their unreliability to audiences; they air reports from Gaza without mentioning that Hamas controls journalistic output; their own journalists express personal opinions. Each of these is a separate breach of the BBC’s own guidelines on impartiality.
While we found that BBC English was disappointingly bad, we found that BBC Arabic was significantly worse. In a ‘sympathy analysis’ conducted by the RIMe data scientists across global media, BBC Arabic was snuggled up with such outlets as Al Jazeera; Palestine Chronicle and Iraqi News. It must surely degrade trust in the BBC to discover that it is being used to peddle extremist views.
The BBC News machine displays a strong anti-Israel view from almost every angle we analyzed. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
