BBC accused of sensationalism over Euro 2012 hosts documentary

Jonathan Ornstein, executive director of the Jewish centre in Krakow, told The Economist: “As an American-born Jew living happily and safely in Poland, I am furious at the way the BBC has exploited me as a source.

“The organisation used me and others to manipulate the serious subject of anti-Semitism for its own sensationalist agenda; in doing so, the BBC has insulted all Polish people. I have reason to believe the BBC similarly misrepresented the black African football players it used as sources in the same programme.

“Moreover, the BBC knowingly cheated its own audience – the British people – by concocting a false horror story about Poland. In doing so, the BBC has spread fear, ignorance, prejudice and hatred.”

England are one of the most racist countries going. You want to try going in the Black Cock in Stockport on a Friday night! Real football fans as they call themselves.
