    Question about BBC World and its new SOUTH ASIAN OBSESSION.

    Report bad ads?

    I was wanting to know if anyone had any idea why BBC World News (virtually the British equivalent of Fox News), if it is not bleating and moaning about Iran, it is preoccupied and utterly obsessed 80% or 90% of the time with South Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and especially India. This has become extremely noticeable over the last few years. Bearing in mind Britain's diabolical centuries long track record, my mind automatically believes it is their neo imperialism and their hell-bent wish for their New World Order to materialize. I strongly suspect this is their agenda especially when I consider that a very large amount of the news and current affairs from those areas are replete with British criticisms of one aspect or another of these Asian cultures. The world is a big place with many countries but BBC World News' utter obsession with South Asia represents a huge disproportionate under reporting of countries elsewhere around the world. One could go for days without it mentioning practically anything about current affairs and news from Europe (one of the most important parts of the world today). Even its stooge the USA, not all that much news from that direction is reported. I feel utterly convinced this is to do with Britain's new busybody communism, global social engineering programmes etc, but perhaps there are some here with some other ideas as well? Remember the British were doing this very same sort of thing way back during the old British Raj. Old ways die hard I guess.

    Maybe more things happen in Asia than in other parts of the world, I don't think they are obsessed with Asia.

    Re: Question about BBC World and its new SOUTH ASIAN OBSESSION.




    The majority of Muslims in UK are south asians, if south asians gain the trust of the media, they'll fall for anything the media says.

    So if the media [which is controlled by non muslims] says that one version of Islam is correct and other ways are false, then the muslims unaware of true islam will trust the media and prefer its teachings over Qur'an and Sunnah.


    you'll probably see its effects quite soon.


    so eastenders promotes a 'homosexual muslim', so muslims who are into eastenders will gradually accept homosexuality is normal etc. there are other programs too where muslim women get married to non muslims, and these are shown on bbc. this makes a muslim watching it question his faith and wonder; what's so wrong with muslim women marrying a non muslim then anyway?



    things work gradually. you'll see the results in the near future. And those who follow pure Quran and Sunnah are extremists to them.

    Aha! An assimilation programme. The British government tried that during it's rule in India but it failed because the Anglo Saxons sent to India to inhabit and marry the natives instead became polygamous and adopted Hindu and Muslim ways.

    Maybe they have reversed course and have invited South Asians to Britain to be assimilated into British/Zionist ways and to send some back to their native lands as NGO agents to convert the masses. This treacherous tactic could however backfire ...look what happened to Gandhi, he was a model assimilant to the British but he eventually woke up to their Imperialist treachery and preached passive resistance in defiance of the British.
    Things seem to be going wrong for the British Neo Imperialist Order already as their worst enemies seem to be coming from within by home grown terrorists and dissidents.

    Re: Question about BBC World and its new SOUTH ASIAN OBSESSION.

    all media that is not State or country owned exists for only one purpose. That purpose is to make money for the owners.

    They make money by selling advertising. They charge for the advertising. The people with money to spend on advertising want their ads to be seen by the most people. The media is always competing to get the most viewers, to do this they focus on what they believe most people want to see. At the present time the BBC believes that South Asia is what most people in the viewing area want to see. They will continue focusing on South Asia until the number of viewers drops.

    Re: Question about BBC World and its new SOUTH ASIAN OBSESSION.

    The BBC are nothing like Fox News. Fox News is the media embodiment of Republican bias. The BBC I believe is rather liberal.

    Bearing in mind Britain's diabolical centuries long track record, my mind automatically believes it is their neo imperialism and their hell-bent wish for their New World Order to materialize. I strongly suspect this is their agenda especially when I consider that a very large amount of the news and current affairs from those areas are replete with British criticisms of one aspect or another of these Asian cultures.

    And there was me thinking it was some covert operation in order to change the world order and to gain control of India and her resources. Silly me!

    Their main news story tonight was of the hilarious flop of a bomb plot by that Nigerian chap, and the second one was of a British man about to be executed. Nothing about the South Asia there.

    That is true I guess but the Nigerian individual was a Muslim. The BBC does report a lot of activities that take place in the Middle East, South Asia and Muslims.

    Be happy you get news. Out here in the boonies the closest news source is the Rapid City news from the Rapid City Journal

    This seems to be the top news in this area:

    Greenpeace to pay more than $30,000 for Rushmore protest

    Greenpeace USA has agreed to pay more than $30,000 in civil penalties for its global warming protest last July 8 on Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
