For those of you not very familiar with the BBC, every Briton who owns and uses a television is required to pay a licensing fee, much of which goes to funding the operations of the Beeb.  The BBC and the British Council are enormously influential the world over, and the Beeb is also notoriously anti-Semitic, though they’d make the mitigating distinction of being anti-Zionist.  In this wonderful post, Peter Glover excoriates the Beeb<\/a> (with a wealth of links) over their resistance to making the results of an internal audit regarding anti-Semitism available for public viewing.  The Balen Report was, of course, paid for with public funds, and the BBC has now opted to engage in expensive litigation, with public funds, to keep the results out of view of the public.  Because, obviously, the function of a state-funded news organization is to bury the news when it’s critical of said organization.\n<\/p>\n
