OK let's connect some dots. You are all scratching your heads wondering why the BBC has yet to write a report on the Iranian revolution, as the people of Iran rise up against the Islamic regime correct? You are now recognizing that the BBC does not want to be accused of "Islamophobia" while laughing at the fact that you cannot call the oppressed people of Iran "Islamophobes" for bravely wanting to overthrow their oppressors, right? OK, we are on the same page. Moving on. Let's pull out and look at something we've been trying to explain to you for two and a half years. Many of us longer, but let's begin with two and a half years ago on October 7, 2023; the point of inflection in the moral dilemma, where leftists, elitists and humanitarians insisted that Israel was responding to Hamas's genocidal massacre in a disproportionate way, and was committing an even bigger "genocide" in Gaza. If that doesn't sound ridiculous in itself to you, let me help you in another way. You have just established that the BBC has a bias with Iran, or a blindspot. The Islamic Republic of Iran gets a free pass from the BBC, which means that the Islamic Republic of Iran's proxy states and militias get a free pass from the BBC too (we sometimes refer to these proxy states and militias as "the Axis of Evil"). They include Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, The West Bank, Yemen and Gaza, and respectively Khataib Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and - yes - Hamas. Now if the BBC has bias with Iran, it also has bias with every one of these militias, including Hamas in Gaza. Which brings me to my a-ha moment for you. The BBC has bias in its reporting of Gaza, and every single neighbor along Israel's borders with an Iranian presence. This is the foolproof logical conclusion. Why would they suddenly make an exception for any of these Iranian proxies? Currenly the BBC is ignoring the Iranian uprising because it makes the Islamic regime of Iran look bad. On reporting during the war in Gaza, the BBC similarly reported DIRECT from the mouths of Hamas to protect the interests of the Islamic regime of Iran. This is why last week John Simpson said the quiet part out loud - that there was a journalistic standard that could not be met and prevented reporting from Iran, yet this same journalistic standard does not exist for Gaza. The legacy media has a blindspot with Iran because it has consistently got it wrong about Iran. In 1979, the legacy media fed the narrative of the Ayatollahs, and betrayed the Shah. They ignored the people of Iran who were in fear for their lives with the Islamist revolution took place. Their blindspot continues today to protect its vested interest in its own false narrative. That false narrative does not pertain only to Iran, but to everything the Islamic Republic of Iran touches. They have lied about Iran, lied about Gaza, and lied about Israel for decades. Do not trust your legacy media.

I just scrolled through the entire BBC website's main page and there's literally not a single word about the most significant anti-regime uprising in decades. Someone at the BBC makes a deliberate decision to ignore this.

@NiohBerg This is a bizarre situation and BBC are failing in their duty to report on global even of this magnitude even if they are about a foreign government they do not wish to offend

The entire BBC management should be sacked. The Iranian revolution is every bit as big as the tearing down of the Berlin Wall - yet not a word from the BBC. They are clearly in depression that the world’s worst Jew hating regime is about to end. The BBC should be ended too!
Josh Howie@joshxhowie

One of the greatest shifts in global geopolitics and silence from @BBCNews. The BBC is not a news organisation. The BBC is a narrative organisation.

@NiohBerg Legacy media silent on Iran’s revolution because it doesn’t fit their pro regime narrative. Cowards burying history in real time. Pathetic.

@NiohBerg No. To be fair, someone told me that Fox News in the U.S. began to cover it a little. But that's the exception that proves the rule.

Is there a reason that you are all pretending that a revolution in a country of 90-million is not happening @BBCWorld @CBC @nytimes and most of English language MSM?
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Today, Bojnord. After eleven consecutive days of protests and over 30 deaths, Iranians are still in the streets. This is no longer a protest , it’s a public verdict on a collapsing regime. @khamenei_ir You can shoot people, but you can’t rule them anymore!

BBC News is deliberately ignoring the revolution in Iran. And why is that? My guess is, they don't want to broadcast the fact that an entire nation is REJECTING Islamism. The BBC doesn't want to "offend" Islamists in the UK & elsewhere.

The BBC does not want you seeing people power remove an Islamist theocracy. That is why they hide this from you. #FreeIran Revoke their Licence Tax,

@Shedspace It's NOT on the home page. It's two levels down from that, alongside minor items. That's deeply weird, and you know it.

When the Iranian revolution finally destroys the Islamist tyranny, how will the BBC explain its refusal to cover the ongoing story?

@LeeHarris Thinking more will cancel when they come to the realisation that the BBC is no more than a state controlled media outlet.

The BBC's disgraceful silence on the revolution in Iran is deafening. This is clearly deliberate. Everyone can see it. They *know* everyone can see it. And they don't care. Why? Because they get guaranteed income from the licence fee and they're protected by politicians.
