To be shocked that the BBC is silent on Iran?

posting for traffic here because I know that I’m not BU but I want to hear what others think.

Isn it a bit strange that the Islamic Republic is about to be toppled, Trump is threatening action if Khomeini attacks Iranian citizens en mass… and all the BBC can report on is the fire in Switzerland??

Don't worry, though, OP.

The BBC is still reporting on the Epstein files; on Donald Trump threatening Greenland; and on the killing by ICE of a Minnesotan mother.

So not only on the fire in Switzerland.

It's been going on for ages, but the BBC is doing the absolute minimum

This 💯

I knew there’d be some clever people out there mentioning the paltry BBC article 😂

Goodness, a MN thread started by a namechanger solely to claim the media aren't reporting on something we're all watching in the media?

How unusual.Hmm

I only knew because of a BBC report yesterday?
