I'm more than a little baffled by this to say the least.

[an0n]

You..........gotta be kidding.

If that's anything other than a complete fake, I'm removing France and putting America at the top of my to-nuke list.

[01010]

I know, I just, I'm really at a loss for words right now, I can't comprehend it.

It isn't fake.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Yeah, I saw this a few days ago.

I just sat and stared for about half an hour after watching it.

[Fineus]

And Americans never lie...

[01010]

I know Fox news is right wing trash, it's owned by Rupert Murdoch after all, but I mean the hypocrisy is too great, I've had three hours sleep, I've got a hangover, and for some reason I can remember be smashed in the head with a half a breezeblock last night (with a rather lovely bump to go with it) but this has just woken me up with a shock really.

What a twat.

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

No wonder the Fox was the only news channel they showed to US troops. Talk about propaganda...

[an0n]

Y'know, it's somewhat ironic that he accused the BBC of being a crappy news service in the manner in which he did.


One thing I do like about the Hutton Report fiasco is that it's made Bush try to not make the US Iraq inquiry thingy part of the election propaganda just incase something similar to the Hutton Report happens.

[Spicious]

How insane. It is rather funny that he implies that America only contains the US. So much emphasis on 'lied'

This is just plain sad. I guess he doesn't know a single thing about the Hutton Report or the BBC case.

1) The simple fact is that almost every single person in Britain feels that the Hutton Report was a complete whitewash designed by the government to try to clear them of any duplicity in the case they made for war.

2) Andy Gilligan did not lie about what David Kelly said. What the Hutton report found was that his claim that the government made stuff up when making the case for war was unsupported That simply means that he couldn't back up his view. Not that it wasn't true.

3) I was amazed by the coverage of the end of the whole Hutton thing by the BBC. There was no attempt to be partisan on News 24. They were completely objective even though it was their own new company that had been found guilty. I don't believe that FOX could EVER be as objective.

4) The BBC has never been anti-american. What this guy takes exception to is the fact that the BBC was and always has been objective and therefore has to report things that make america look in a bad light. That's not being anti-american. That's just not being pro-american.

The BBC were pissed. You could see it in the face of every reporter and anchor throughout the whole thing.

But they were still professional and objective. Sure, you could tell from the tone of their voices and the little pauses they made that they were biting their tongues, but they never let-loose on the pile of crap that Hutton coughed up.

[01010]

But it's ok at the end of the day, because it's complete and utter ****e like that spilled by that retard that shows you HOW much better the BBC is over it's competitors.

Exactly. That's why I ignored Hutton. A news station that could remain that objective when they themselves are the story is worth listening to. Hutton himself is a Labour man so no one expected him to present a fair view of the report but equally no one expected him to make such a whitewash of it either.

What worries me about things like this is that there are many people who listen to foolishness like this and believe it instead of turning over to PBS and listening to the BBC news and hearing a much fairer version.

[vyper]

All I have to say on the matter:

[Zeronet]

All he got right there was that Andrew Gilligan lied and is a idiot. Rest of it was nonsense.

[aldo_14]

What a pile of steaming donkey ****.  

But isn't that what you expect from Fox news?

[Taristin]

..hehe.

Yes, but propaganda of this extent, I've only seen in the Nazi Germany and Soviet Union.


You think if we all gave, say, a hundred bucks, we could buy a tactical nuke?

[Unknown Target]

Where are we going?

And why are we in a handbasket?

Meh, I'm not even gonna watch it. It's just some stupid American media stuff, and I don't even watch the news anymore.
