The BBC are banned in China, Russia and have had many temporary bans in the past in India (70s), Myanmar, Rwanda, Zimbabwe etc. This is nothing new, the BBC think it is right and every other foreign country is wrong lOL

Actually that's what BJP thinks. Whenever anyone says anything against them, they are termed as a 'Conspiracy against the nation' or 'anti-national'. It is BJP who thinks they are right and everyone else is wrong, not the other way round :)

he said she said, but the proof is in the data, they won the last 2 elections with large majorities, so what india thinks is not what the bbc thinks ;)

So, BBC getting banned is an indication China, Russia, Myanmar, Rwanda & Zimbabwe are right?

If they’re the best examples you have, all that does is further convince me that the BBC World Service is in fact the premiere reporting outfit in the world.

None of those are governments that right-thinking people have any truck with, and all have a marked history of suppressing inconvenient truth.

In other words, the BBC World Service usually _is_ right.

the start of orwellian thinking, a media house which is not questionable and only it is considered right over many other countries

You're projecting what you would like it if I said onto what I actually said.
