BBC Not Carrying Terror Attack Coverage Anymore?

[HMKGrey]

This seems strange. <br><br>Late night (early AM, UK) BBC.com's front page was suddenly devoid of a single story relating to events on Thursday. It's now nearly 18 hours later and it's still that way. <br><br>Are they being D-Noticed? <br><br>Is there internet news arm being somehow kept quiet on this? <br><br>I'm sure that the Sunday broadsheets will have tons of background features but why no, updates from a live news source? <br><br>Meanwhile, CNN continues to cane the story mercilessly. <p></p><i></i>

Wow! Great find Chiggerbit. I never would have found that if you hadn't posted it here. <br><br>It looks to me like this thing is starting to fall apart. Let's see how long before they start letting people go. <br><br>I've heard so many conflicting reports on the number of people arrested, last count was 23 but I first heard 24, then some more overseas. <br><br>I heard that one has already been released, anyone know about that angle? It will be interesting in the days and weeks to come how many are let go. <p></p><i></i>

[HMKGrey]

I read that 4 had been let go yesterday. Will get link. <p></p><i></i>

[pugzleyca3]

Well, phooey, I tried to find the other CNN online and can't locate a thing through Google. <br><br>The BBC link does look strange with no coverage regarding the "foiled attacks". <br> <p></p><i></i>

[HMKGrey]

That "totalitarian ideology they are seeking to spread" chestnut is the new talking point. <br><br>I was looking for <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Clerks</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> on TV just and caught those fucking pricks The Beltway Boys on Fox. Pricks is too small a word. They are abominable. <br><br>Anyway, in the approx. 1 minute I watched both balthered insanely about how Islam is seeking to overthrow the west and our entire civilization 'just like the Nazi's.' <br><br>Things are getting pretty desperate. <br><br>The US media is reporting all kinds of shit that the BBC is not. <br><br>It is now officially weird. As a committed BBC News follower I've never seen anything like it. Even after 7/7 they had camera-phone photo galleries, blogs... you name it. <p></p><i></i>

[pugzleyca3]

I watch Fox News just to see their spin and they are getting so bad about beating the drums for war, it's pathetic. <br><br>One of their "military analysts" was calling for lining up the leaders of ME states and shooting them. On another clip I saw, they actually laughed in the background when a journalist out of Lebannon was describing the carnage there.<br><br>Sean Hannity is so biased it could make a healthy person sick, the rest of them are, too. Fair and balanced: doublespeak.<br><br>The Fox propaganda station must be reminiscent of the news in Nazi Germany to those who can remember that far back. And I do not say that lightly, these people are really and truly crossing some boundaries of "journalism". If you could call it that. <br><br>Thank goodness they've lost much of their audience in the past few years.<br><br>Watching what they are doing and understanding what they are doing is frightening. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=pugzleyca3>pugzleyca3</A> at: 8/13/06 2:21 am<br></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Watching what they are doing and understanding what they are doing is frightening.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>Yes, indeed, but I'm not convinced that they're losing their audience at all. One recent(and pretty damn painfull) experience was an ideological row I had with my grandfather(step, but that never meant anything to me). This man was the cornerstone for my own morality as I grew up, and still is, despite this story. We spoke on the phone a few days after the Israeli hostilities became overt, and quickly assumed sides in a heated argument over the aggression. He knows very much that I have literally no endorsement over televised news and get most of my information online. His stance(he's jewish, btw) was Israel was justified in what they were doing, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>BUT</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->..<br><br>He was justifying this position due to the belief that Hezbollah had started firing rockets into Israel <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>BEFORE </em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->the soldiers were 'kidnapped' on <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>THEIR OWN SOIL</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->..<br><br>So at this point, I'm really pissed off, more than anything becuase we're arguiing over what I feel is erroneous information his arguments are based on. I ask him where he got the information that Hezbollah stared the aggressions, etc, and here's the real shitkicker reply from my very respected, intellegent, liberal, and most poignantly, <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>democrat</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> grandfather:<br><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Well, I don't watch just Fox news <!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong>ONLY</strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END-->, I can tell you that much.."<br></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br>We didn't speak for nearly 3 weeks after that one..<br><br>Conqueor(I hate spelling that goddamned word) and Devide..Who needs to bother with playing Evil Overlord when families can be made to rip at each other's throats so easily? And the sad thing about it is this:<br><br>You have a society that is being incrementally worked to death with increasing hours and pay that doesn't reflect the economy in any way, shape or form. These people(including my grandfather, who is STILL not retired and is in his 80's) go to work day in, day out, are beat down, exhausted, and when they get home, they have no energy to proccess what they see on the news, if they have the juice left to even bother..<br><br>THAT'S what makes Faux News' job an effortless one. Crush the workers by day, sing the state sponsored Siren Songs by night..<br><br>The American Citizen doesn't have a fucking chance in hell against this. <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i></i>

Hi et,<br>Yes, divide and conquer is quite an effective tool, isn't it?<br><br>When I say they have lost much of their audience, it is based on information I read several months ago. <br><br>Fox definitely presents their programs in a way which causes most people to take their side of things, especially if they are not looking at any other news sources. My niece watches them and gets all her information from there. My nephew who was in Iraq asked her to protest the war, she told him: No, if it isn't you fighting this war, it will be my 11 year old when he grows up fighting it. <br><br>Now, tell me that isn't straight out of the mouth of Fox. She's so brainwashed that she cannot even dare look at another side of things other than what Fox's view is. My sister, her mother, will not even discuss anything regarding the news with her, she gets really angry and defensive if anyone presents a perspective different from what Fox has told her to have.<br><br>That station reminds me of the propagandist on V for Vendetta. <p></p><i></i>

[HMKGrey]

and BBC.com is still doing no follow up coverage of Thursday's events. <br><br>WTF? <br><br>Their coverage of 7/7 was huge. Now there's just one small, buried Heathrow related link. <br><br>CNN still busting a gut of course. <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>WTF?<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br>It already served it's purpose, that's why.

It was broadcast only long enough to support the turd with wings in full regalia being milked over here..<br><br>That's pretty damn scary when another country gets involved in our domestic psy-ops.. <p>____________________<br>Some are born to sweet delight, some are born to endless night.</p><i></i>
