<<This for me was one of the most conclusive pieces of evidence that much of
the news coverage of the war was little more than Theatrics and propaganda.
I watched all the live coverage the night Jessica Lynch was Ahem...
'rescued'. I saw the breaking news reports, as the word spread. Most
important of all, I saw the live broadcast from the hospital barley a few
hours after it happened. This was shown on SKY news. I didn't see any US
correspondents at the hospital, despite switching between CNN and FOX.
Strange as Fox is SKY's sister company. >>
Yes, now that this story is 24 hours old, denials from (Ret) Major Daniel
Hunt, on FoxNews, have disputed the BBC story as being full of holes. One
story had US Forces firing blanks, which is untrue. The second claim that the
hospital was unguarded is also untrue, since the hospital was guarded by 25
armed Fedayeen.
The BBC reported the massacre of thousands of Arab civilians, in Jenin, in
April 2002 on the West Bank, unverified and given to the BBC by the PA. A
later UN examination of Jenin listed 57 verified fatalities, not thousands.
Most all of the killed were combatants. BBC misreporting was also apparent in
the American attacks against the Chetnik regime in Bosnia, but thats another
story, in a long line of stories, not honest reporting, performed by the
Leftist BBC. I am convinced that all news orgs lie; but I as a reader, must
try to discern, which one is lying the least, so that I can know what is
true. I suggest that all list members keep this in mind, and not swallow
published statements so whole heartedly.
