Exit question: Given what we know about the BBC, did the fact that these tools worked for the state broadcasting authority make it more or less likely that they’d pull this?

It doesn’t matter; they’re presstitutes. It’s a given they’d pull this.

And, it is nice to see it actually admitted.

Is there such a thing as “objective” reporting? I actually don’t think so.

One of the 3, Carmela Menashe, is a very respectable Israeli MSM broadcaster. I remember from my childhood 10-15 years ago she was a broadcaster then.

Sad that this BS exists. I was under the illusion that there was less of it in Israel.

Probably more likely but I will admit that I clicked on this thread expecting to see an admission by one of the US news orgs in regards to Iraq…

The media telling lies in service to an agenda?

Hmmm.

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along, now.

Who’s surprised? Of course, if it was slanted towards the war, it would be jingoistic, fascist, and militarist.

We need to return to partisan news sources. We can’t keep relying on the leftist media like this forever.

I don’t think the BBC or any other news authority needs to be told how much power they have.

Media slant is nothing more than corruption and theft.

Whoa…You’re telling me, at a time of war, a news organization slanted the news?

Bullet Point #12 for Obly: Right after after millions of people see my newscast about “alleged” terror plots, the Israeli’s come out with this story?

Way to go Mr. Bush!!
