BAMR, a news outlet operating on the HoloNet, was established in secrecy and with great haste by the Lost Tribe of Sith as part of their strategy to seize control of the galaxy.
By 44 ABY, BAMR news had completely abandoned any semblance of factual accuracy in its broadcast of anti-Jedi propaganda. The news station made accusations against the Jedi, claiming they were smuggling spice with the intention of, among other things, sabotaging Freedom Flight. Luke Skywalker witnessed one of these prejudiced broadcasts while standing in the line for planetary customs and immigration on Coruscant as he was trying to come back to the planet.
