The BBC promotes Sodastream

21-09-2012 10:03

Audio

This morning on the Today Programme, the CEO of Sodastream was interviewed and was able to extoll the benefits of SodaStream as an environmentally friendly product! The interviewer even mentioned the fact that the company is Israeli, a fact that the CEO (who sounded American to me) happily confirmed. And that was that - no mention that the company's main manufacturing plant is in the illegal settlement of Mishor Edomim in the West Bank. No mention that the company is subject to a boycott because of it's location on stolen Palestinian land. Then there's also the fact that the BBC is supported by the licence fee, and really shouldn't be doing a 5 minute infomercial for a private company that is quoted on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
