Freedom to Broadcast Hate Follow-up

(March, 2014)

After the BBC Arabic premiered their investigative report about hate channels on Arabic TV (Freedom to Broadcast Hate) it created lots of discussion. So they devoted a whole call-in show to carry on the conversation live.

Here's some threads from that show:

Caller: they started it, so by golly, we will insult them, too! I wouldn't have started it - I'm only responding because they insulted Aisha.
BBC Arabic moderator: The only problem is, at this point, we really don't know who started it.
Caller: no, you can read about it! We didn't start it, they did!
Moderator: It's a complicated situation. Each side blames the other for having started it. So how can we escape, how can we get out this cycle where each side continuously badmouths the other?
