Jeremy Bowen

Back on 15th January 2017 I wrote a piece for The Duran in which I contrasted the detailed on the spot reporting of Turkish journalist Fehim Taştekin in eastern Aleppo with the failure of western journalists to visit or report from Aleppo notwithstanding that following the end of the fighting there the city is finally safe for journalists to visit.
When I wrote that piece I was unaware that the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen was actually in Aleppo as I was writing it.

So why do we even bother challenging journalists? Because our objective is to raise public awareness of the systemic constraints in the corporate media, even on the supposed 'Titans' like Jeremy Paxman, Andrew Marr, Jeremy Bowen and 'pinko liberal' Jon Snow. Our hope is that by exposing the distortions and omissions in corporate news - very much including the BBC and Channel 4 News - we will help to build a head of steam for alternative, truly democratic and accountable media.
