To find it worrying what the BBC chooses not to report?

You wouldn't know it, if you got your news from the BBC, that there's been a pro-pal march through London today. 6 marchers were arrested and the Battle of Britain memorial was damaged.
Nothing on the BBC website. Nothing on News at 10.
Is it only me that finds this disturbing?

There’s no such thing as Palestinian identity / it was made up by yasser Arafat - an Egyptian . Palestine is Jordan/syrian/lebanon Arabs

This

There are Gazens though and these cretins at the protests are not there to actually help them but to help Islamic extremists and push far left ideology. In fact judging by the flags on photos I have seen today they were promoting communist ideology.

This is not true.

I heard it on BBC radio.

OK, I didn't listen to R4, I just watched it on TV and checked their webpage. And I still find it odd that it wasn't covered on the TV.
Perhaps we all just have to get used to Pro Pal marches and the ensuing damage.

Oh yes, get your news from YouTube and GB News! Much better sources 🙄

Show quote history

Really? The only alternative you can think of to the BBC is "YouTube and GB News"?

Channel 4 news
ITV News
Sky News
The Times / Sunday Times
The Telegraph
The Guardian (nah, just joking - they fell long before the BBC)
Reuters

Crack on.

I used to work at The BBC, and had access to the overnight complaints logs - about half complained they were too right wing, and half complained they were too left wing.

Can’t win

Exactly
I am middle in my policies. So this is very clear to me
