The BBC used to be the most reliable, responsible and impartial new source in the world. Not any more.

The BBC's Anti-American Propaganda

The BBC has announced that it is joining Reuters in refusing to describe the Sept. 11 atrocities as "terrorism": "However appalling and disgusting it was, there will nevertheless be a constituency of your listeners who don't regard it as terrorism," says Mark Damazer, the BBC's deputy director of news. Describing it as such could downgrade your status as an impartial and independent broadcaster."

Of course, there's probably "a constituency of your listeners" who think the Holocaust is a myth too. Damazer seems to have forgotten that the job of a news organization is to report the truth. If he wants to pander to "constituencies," he should become a politician.

Old Git, what did you expect? Most of their coverage of the war was about those poor Afgans that died due to an off course bomb.
