Full details of the BBC complaint from Adrian Mallett

After watching the BBC Conspiracy Files program called '9/11 Ten Years On' Adrian Mallett, a member of the 9/11 truth movement, decided to complain to the BBC. The program distorted or avoided the facts in order to cast members of the 9/11 Truth Movement in the worst possible light.

The BBC then broadcast a further program called '9/11: Conspiracy Road Trip' which can only be described as blatant propaganda in support of the official story. It was full of truly ridiculous 'demonstrated' and 'experimental' evidence heavily stacked to make a group of carefully selected young people, not fooled by the official story, look callous and delusional. The program was so bad that even people who had no idea of any of the problems with the official story thought it was daft.

The BBC is governed by it own charter in which it states it is dedicated to the principles of accuracy and impartiality. Both programs mentioned above, and especially the Road Trip propaganda, ignored the BBC charter. If you care to read through the complaint correspondence that follows you will see that the BBC charter is nothing more than a paper exercise and the BBC itself has no interest in ensuring its producers comply with the rules.

14/12/2011 - Email to Patrick Clyde of BBC Complaints

I’m not sure if this email was meant as an answer to my letter of 2nd Dec but I’ve actually received an almost identical one before and it didn’t answer any of my questions then either.

Please address the points raised in my letter and answer the simple question...

Who at the BBC is responsible for ensuring that you do not broadcast a documentary claiming that the world is made of cheese?

It seems to me that the program producers are allowed to police themselves so when one produces a ‘documentary’ like the 911 road trip which could better be labelled ‘a propaganda film for George Bush’ there is no one at the BBC able to do anything about it. The 911 truth movement continues to grow for the simple reason that the official explanation for the events on 911 is incomplete and a lot of it is scientifically impossible. Sooner or later the truth will come out and the BBC is going to lose a lot of public trust for its current stance of blatant, propaganda based coverage.

Please answer my question above.

Thanks,

Adrian Mallett.
