How the BBC chose to report on the US and Israeli attack on the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran:

1. It used “dead” instead of “killed,” softening the violence and removing agency.
2. It relied on passive construction, carefully avoiding naming the perpetrators — the United States and Israel.
3. It added “Iran says,” subtly framing the massacre itself as an allegation rather than an established event.

@ml the BBC is no longer a UK institution despite the UK paying for it. A lot of the news stories come from their US 'partner'!

@EF In Bangladesh (BBC Bangla), their activities are more dangerous. At least once in everyday they're caught sharing misinformation. Also they're still working in favor of ousted fascist Awami League Party.

@ml one of the problems of the mdern world is bias in the press. Bias often at the behest of money and power, not facts and honesty.
