AADHIKAR Media diagnosing the British Media in CONTEXT  London Saturday 15 December 2012  

  This picture [of Tower Hamlets Councillor RABINA KHAN, a supporter of Lutfur Rahman] was screen-grabbed by AADHIKAR Media at 2323 GMT on Friday 14 December 2012 from the BBC NEWS Channel broadcast live that was showing a “PRESS PREVIEW” of today’s [Saturday’s] Fleet Street papers with her as the “guest” on the slot.  Ms Khan made a telling remark    “I think we need to look at our elderly in a more positive light....”   WHICH FORCES the FOLLOWING QUESTION from MUHAMMAD HAQUE   

The © Muhammad Haque Daily Ethical Commentary [2].  

THE TOPIC:

The day that had begun for the KHEYDAIEELAAR! campaign organiser Muhammad Haque [the author of this]  publishing the first four liens of his Political Poetry AT Ed Miliprat,    Millbrae's idiocy about English language, was “concluded” by the BBC’s News Channel offering a slot appearance to Rabina Khan, a member of Lutfur Rahman’s over-extended “cabinet” on the Tower Hamlets Council.

I shall duly examine the “cabinet” in due course.

But the point I am going to make is this: that the BBC are themselves ignorant when they invite someone and introduce that person with all manner of platitudes without making any evidential, rigorous reference to the context of why that person is there at all.

Rabina Khan is of course not the first recipient of such treatment. But it shows why the BBC must get its journalistic act together. Fast. The presenter hosting the show should have asked her to talk about the treatment of the “elderly” by Tower Hamlets council. Instead, she was allowed to promote a thing or two that she claimed her administration [that is, Lutfur Rahman, the “elected executive” mayor] was doing suggesting that those things were helping to raise Tower Hamlets Council’s service to the “elderly” to a level that had not existed before!

If that is the impression the viewers of that slot on the BBC got from what Rabina Khan said then that would not be a true position as it exist on the ground in Tower Hamlets.

This is why my question remains valid:

Did the BBC ask Rabina Khan about the REALITY of the attitude shown by some of her colleagues - 'independent' - who are in the 'cabinet' with her, to "our elderly"?
