Biased Broadcasting Corporation continues its interpretation of 'objective' reporting

If you have no problem with your licence fee funding a pro-euthanasia, anti-Christian agenda, then move along there is nothing to see here...

But the Christian Institute reports:

The BBC has been rebuked by a doctor for flipping the emphasis of a medical study on end-of-life care to support an anti-religious stance.

The study concluded that “non-religious” doctors were more likely to make decisions that speed up the death of patients.

But the BBC twisted the emphasis of the conclusion, giving the headline: “Religion may influence doctors’ end of life care”.

Dr Rosemary Barrett, a Director of the Scottish Council on Human Bioethics, said the move may have been “sinister”.

The publicly-funded broadcaster was slammed by a group of MPs earlier this year for adopting a persistent pro-euthanasia bias.

Last month’s study, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, showed doctors who described themselves as “non-religious” are more likely to have given their patients continuous deep sedation until death.

The study found also revealed that doctors with a strong faith were less likely to discuss treatments that would speed up their patients’ deaths.
