The lengths the left goes to to avoid using 'Terrorists'..

[SmokingGun]

..when it comes to Muslims.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-10846189

In the whole article, the word isn't used once.

Just like the 'ALLAH AKBAR' Fort Hood terrorist wasn't a terrorist. LOL!

The left seem to go out of their way trying to change the meanings of words, what you can say: 'motherfucking shithead asshole' and what you can't: 'cunt'. Also, any references to Muslim terrorists must be cloaked using other words, so as not to establish a link between the two words in the minds of the unwashed masses.

Pssst. I think they should call David Cameron these days.

And poor little Smoking Gun, did someone female smack you up side the head for calling her a "cunt"? Interesting intersection of grievances you got there.

No actually it came from an episode of 'Wife Swap' (yeah yeah I know.. it's a guilty pleasure) where two people were arguing at a bar,

"I think you're a cocksucking, piece of fucking shit. You motherfucking BEEP."

I thought it was hilarious, a string of pretty much all the major expletives, yet they bleeped 'cunt'! Don't you find that somewhat ridiculous?

The BBC has massive influence all over the world. It is one of the major news outlets, and it was once a trustworthy, non-biased source of information. That was before the leftists took over.

"It was the day that a host of BBC executives and star presenters admitted what critics have been telling them for years: the BBC is dominated by trendy, Left-leaning liberals who are biased against Christianity and in favour of multiculturalism.

A leaked account of an 'impartiality summit' called by BBC chairman Michael Grade, is certain to lead to a new row about the BBC and its reporting on key issues, especially concerning Muslims and the war on terror.

It reveals that executives would let the Bible be thrown into a dustbin on a TV comedy show, but not the Koran, and that they would broadcast an interview with Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity. Further, it discloses that the BBC's 'diversity tsar', wants Muslim women newsreaders to be allowed to wear veils when on air."

Gordon Brown?

So were you jacking off to the article and suddenly found out you couldn't finish unless you read the word "terrorist" somewhere in it?

Well I have a feeling that it isn't "the left" that objects. I mean really....that kind of thing comes from the rightie "morality" folks. They are losing ground obviously with all the words that are getting past the censors. But somehow I don't think it was "the left" that raised a shit fit about Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction.

As for not using the word terrorist....does it make it more reassuring if they throw that word in. It isn't enough that they are reporting tabout it? You'd have a point if the actual story wasn't being reported.

Btw, I'm very left and I use the word "cunt" when i am very very irritated by someone. It is too special a word to be wasted on everyday cussing....

[SmokingGun]

I think 'cunt' is much more taboo in the UK than in the US, at least judging from TV shows and movies. They did sneak in a 'let's get cunted' in an episode of Peep Show when Johnson and his lackeys came to get Mark to go get drunk though. I do think it is the leftist feminazis who object to it and therefore have given it taboo status, but obviously I have no proof of this.

And MOMP, BBC news, biased as it is, is the default RSS newsfeed for Firefox. I could change it, but then I wouldn't be able to bitch about it. And what fun would that be?

I thought it was the polar opposite. My understanding is that Brits throw around the word "cunt" like Americans use something like "shit".

No, just like in Canada, you can't use the word cunt as an expletive on free to air TV. Ever watch the Trailer Park Boys? Ever variation of every expletive.. but you will never hear 'you stupid cunt'.. ever. Some performing artists are even told they can't say cunt on stage.

Open minded doesn't mean accepting anything and everything without question. It means you listen to various sides of an argument or new idea, and make your own decisions. There is no way for you to know how little or how much time I have spent observing issues from different viewpoints. Therefore your sentence is false.

Now fuck off, you terrorist cunt.

You're seriously quoting the Daily Fail as a reputable news source? Plus the fact that at the time of publishing, thisislondon was owned by the Daily Fail.

[CliffByford]

Quoting the Daily Fail? Man, that's plumbing the depths somewhat - plus that BBC story you posted in the same screed of links is about three years old.

Seeing as we're now using historical sources to back up our claims, allow me to quote an editorial penned by Fail owner Viscount Rothermere in 1934:

If the Blackshirts movement had any need of justification, the Red Hooligans who savagely and systematically tried to wreck Sir Oswald Mosley's huge and magnificently successful meeting at Olympia last night would have supplied it.

How about this, from another well-observed article?

I urge all British young men and women to study closely the progress of the Nazi regime in Germany. They must not be misled by the misrepresentations of its opponents.

Or this, from that famously bias free bastion of truth, the Daily Mail?

...a well organised party of the right ready to take over responsibility for national affairs with the same directness of purpose and energy of method as Hitler and Mussolini have displayed.

So you think in those 3 years the BBC threw out all the extreme left wing employees that had been writing biased articles for years, and somehow become unbiased? I don't think so. There is no evidence whatsoever that would lead me to that conclusion. They are still Muslim apologists.

[SmokingGun]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8134101.stm

I just saw this now. So even when they do call them terrorists they use quotes!!!

As in: Mr Garrison had a sex change operation and became a 'woman'.

Unbelievable!!

A terrorist is a terrorist, whether a lone nut like McVeigh or part of an organized team like Al Quaeda. Do the rest of you somehow not see this?

There's no evidence that you're anything but a fucking idiot. Please point towards all these 'extreme left wing employees' that you mention. Have you ever seen a political programme on the BBC? I recommend you watch Question Time, where you'll see a panel that probably features a left-winger or two, but by the same token a fair few right-wingers. As a public service broadcaster they are obliged to be as neutral as possible.

Admittedly, I perceive the BBC has a slight centre-left bias. However, that's not bad going when Fox News can triumphantly fart out "Fair and Balanced" as its slogan, which has rendered that particular phrase devoid of all meaning. The fact is, the BBC is full of graduates from UK universities, so by and large nobody should be surprised that its programming reflects is personnel (i.e. a slight liberal inclination).

Incidentally, the BBC frequently use quote marks...when they're quoting something! Here are a few examples from today's front page:

Dr Kelly death 'textbook suicide'
Al Fayed 'burned' royal warrants
Tory conference 'a terror target'
Man killed in 'hit-and-run' crash

See, it's actually done in the interests of neutrality. For the BBC to call Dr Kelly's death a textbook suicide would be to politicise the issue, to take sides. However, by attributing the source they escape that trap. Almost in complete contrast, the Daily Mail will politicise, distort or just make shit up (read Nick Davies' Flat Earth News for some in-depth research by Cardiff University students on this subject), presenting stories almost exclusively in a way that will appeal to Middle England.

You would have to be a moron to quote the Fail as an authority. Fortunately for us, you are.

Didn't you mean to say he's a "moron?"

I second your recommendation of Flat Earth News. That was a superb read and a real eye-opener as well. I've never looked at newspapers in the same way since I read that book. I'm so glad I managed to convince my parents to stop reading the Mail so they can't be mislead any further from its shitty content. They read The Independent now instead.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Kriss_Donald

On 15 March 2004, Donald was abducted from Kenmure Street by five men associated with a local Pakistani gang led by Imran Shahid. The kidnapping was ostensibly revenge for an attack on Shahid at a nightclub in Glasgow city centre the night before by a local white gang, and Donald was chosen as an example of a "white boy from the McCulloch Street area" despite having no involvement in the nightclub attack or in any gang activity. Donald was taken on a 200-mile journey to Dundee and back while his kidnappers made phone calls looking for a house to take him to. Having no success at this, they returned to Glasgow and took him to the Clyde Walkway, near Celtic Football Club's training ground.

There, they held his arms and stabbed him 13 times. He sustained internal injuries to three arteries, one of his lungs, his liver and a kidney. He was castrated, had his tongue cut out, was doused in petrol, set on fire and left to die.

The BBC has been criticized by some viewers because the case featured on national news only three times and was later largely confined to regional Scottish bulletins.

----

Now imagine if it had been a gang of Neo Nazi's and the victim was black. The BBC would have been all over this for months on end, exposing the racism and hatred still inherent in the local community over and over, until the masses started repeating the mantra.

They made a bigger deal out of some Reality TV idiot calling an Indian girl a Poppadom, FFS! That was even on the news HERE, far from the UK, even though nobody knew who she was! The BBC made damn sure the public would learn that there is nothing worse than being politically incorrect. To save her 'career' she even had to go to India for an old school style re-education.

But a racially-motivated murder and mutilation by Muslims? Fuck that, it goes against their leftist agenda. Minimal coverage.

[SmokingGun]

The BBC has been accused of "shameful hypocrisy" over its decision to spend £200,000 blocking a freedom of information request about its reporting in the Middle East.

The corporation, which has itself made extensive use of FOI requests in its journalism, is refusing to release papers about an internal inquiry into whether its reporting has been biased towards Palestine.

BBC chiefs have been accused of wasting thousands of pounds of licence fee payers money trying to cover-up the findings of the so called Balen Report into its journalism in the region, despite the fact that the corporation is funded by the British public.

"A Saudi judge is reported to have asked hospitals if it is possible to cut the spinal cord of the man, found guilty of paralysing another man in a fight."

Funny how the BBC reported this many days after the story first broke. But the insanity isn't over:

'Correspondents say the case highlights attempts by Saudi Arabia to balance
religious traditions with a push to modernise the country.'

Really? It doesn't highlight a disgusting, barbaric and outdated system of punishment? Nope.. it's balancing religious 'traditions' with 'modernization'. WHAT. IN. THE. FUCK???

Seriously guys, I know you're all left wing, but do you not see how the BBC is twisting words to always make Islam look good, even when they are talking about a surgical operation to paralyze a man?
