Austin Bay asked me to guest host the Pajamas Media “Blog Week In Review” podcast this week, so I interviewed Robin Aitken, the former BBC journalist and on-air personality who left the network and has written a new book, very much in the vein of Bernard Goldberg’s books on American media bias, titled Can We Trust The BBC. I tried to aim the questions towards an American perspective on the topic, but then, how could I not? Aitken also discussed in depth the BBC’s biases regarding Iraq, Israel, and the Palestinians. Regular readers of this blog won’t exactly be shocked where the BBC comes down on these issues, but for those who still hold out a belief that the BBC is entirely objective, its an eye-opener.
I also asked Robin if this was still flying on the walls of his former workplace.
It’s a 20 minute long podcast (no iPod required–any computer with broadband and a soundcard can play an MP3 file), so please tune in and listen.
