Further evidence that the BBC is gutless:

DrDetroit · Post by **DrDetroit** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 7:50 pm

Media Blog reader Steven J. Scibelli catches the BBC in a double standard:

First, the BBC calls the terrorists who bombed London "misguided criminals." Then, courtesy of Drudge, we see that the BBC edited the word "terrorist" out of its recent coverage of the Londom bombings:

The BBC's guidelines state that its credibility is undermined by the "careless use of words which carry emotional or value judgments". Consequently, "the word 'terrorist' itself can be a barrier rather than an aid to understanding" and its use should be "avoided", the guidelines say.

But, apparently the BBC has no qualms about using words which carry "emotional or value judgments" in other contexts. Here are two examples:

Football hooligans who terrorised Cardiff city centre on the opening day of the season used the Internet to organise the violent clashes.

and:

Hooligans who terrorise local residents could be more likely to face action as Humberside Police review the use of new powers to crack down on yobs.

So, according to the BBC, soccer hooligans are terrorists, but Islamic jihadists are "misguided criminals."

Well, you know what they say. One man's hooligan is another man's freedom fighter.

Oh, Yawn.

Dr Dullard, the War on Terror doesn't belong to mediocre imbeciles like you anymore. My advice to you is to sit back, put your feet up, wank yourself into a stupor and let real professionals handle the job your boy Bush wasn't man enough for.

Well I find it informative and interesting. It allows me to view things others find on the internet without me having to go look for it. I'm lazy that way.

Thanks for the post Detroit.

All this talk about "guts", "gutless", is silly. What it does show is how utterly terrified and confused the terrorists have Western Civilization.

It's quite simple. They want our culture, our ways, and our ideas gone.

There's two ways to stop this. Change our culture and our ways and become Islamic states . Which would leave the left weeping and gnashing their teeth, as N.O.W. would be stoned to death and the homos would be buried alive or thrown from the rooftops of buildings.

Or

Hunt them, draw them out (Iraq), and kill them.

But they're succeeding in confusing the hell out of some of us.

For instance:

Why are we reading more about people apologizing for calling terrorists, terrorists than I'm reading about Islam denouncing the actions of these murderers ?

Not "western civilization?"

I would say continental Europe for sure. And the American Left, along with their British counterparts.

Listen, Dr D; one of us in this argument actually gets up from the computer and takes in some fresh air every now and then, and it sure as shit ain't you.

It's been four years since your terrorist atrocity, and you haven't captured the perpetrator. It's been four days since ours, and we've already made serious inroads in the investigation. In the meantime, your soldiers on UK soil were banned from visiting London over the weekend by their superiors because it was 'too dangerous'. How pathetic.

You can start whining like a pussy over the BBC when you start paying for it. Until then, shut your manky pissflaps and be grateful that someone in the Coalition Of The Wilting has more than two brain cells to rub together.

Not much different from the US mainstream media who discontinued showing the horrible images of 9/11 shortly after its occurance.

Because Euros are gutless.

No, because you're ignorant cunts. There are hundreds of news stories about Muslim leaders condeming the bombings. They just don't fit into your lamentable world viewpoint.

PS: I don't see any Euros panic-buying duct tape at the moment.

You're drawing an equivalency between the Tube being bombed by a bunch of amateurs and 9/11 re: to the scope of the investigation and the people who perped it??

:roll:

And your patronizing attitude re: the conduct of US armed forces is completely unwarranted. You're more the continental Euro type than the British type that persevered during the Blitz.

Pussy.

I'd feel pretty safe on the Continent, too, given that the Euro's are highly sympathetic wioth the terrorists cause. The level of anti-Americanism there is irrational given the decades that the avergae American gave their $$ to protect the Euros from Mother Russia.

There were 20 of them. 19 are dead, one is in jail. Bin Laden is nothing more than the symbolic figurehead. As an Englishman, I'd think you were well acquainted with that type of arrangement.

It's been four days since ours, and we've already made serious inroads in the investigation.

You'll end up with the lower-level guys in jail, just like we did. Woo hoo! <----Insert New Year's noisemaker sound.

Actually, he's right. But as mvs said, actions speak louder than words, and so far, the "condemnations" have amounted to a whole lot of nothing.
