How can you trust the press when they don't even report on their own limitations? A revealing look at Augean Stables: BBC Silent about being Terrorized in Gaza: Discretion or Cowardice? Note Richard's description of being "saved from a lawsuit" by the BBC when they cut out his plain, basic truth comment that Alan Johnston is able to continue to report from Gaza because he's "openly pro-Palestinian."
The MSM is really the enemy in time of war, favoring the worst actors and hamstringing nations that actually respect human rights. They won't tell you the truth about what they see and the limitations they operate under for fear of losing access, safety, and, perversely...credibility.
In a related matter, Bruno Stevens is back on the job in Gaza: Augean Stables: Pallywood Alert: Bruno Stevens on the Gaza Beat
What other explanation can there be but pure, unadulterated Anti-Semitism that drives these people to avoid the truth, even report lies both to Help the Arabs and Hurt the Israelis... no... hurt ALL Jews.
There is no other way to understand the BBC refusing to report their people being used as human shields and their facilities being used as sanctuary.
It has to be a vile and deep seated hatred that motivates these people to design their "truth" so that it demonizes Jews and makes the Arab such a noble savage.
This has been going on for years. Since the Sauds and the UAE took over the former Great Britain, the BBC has been more pro-Islamist than al Jazeera.
They have a confirmed policy of ignoring atrocities committed by terrorists. Often, they ignore the existence of terrorists altogether.
They don't just do it in Gaza. When Islamists took over a town in Uzbekistan, The BBC went to Korasuv and celebrated the town's 'liberation'. In their story "Uzbek border town celebrates freedom" they ignored the fact that there were any Islamists in the town at all.
And, there's all that additional nasty stuff the MSM failed to report. h/t Power Line
Without the truth, i.e.: accurate information about our world, human liberty cannot survive - eventually tyranny will arise, even in the United States.
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” Thomas Jefferson
I believe one word in the Declaration of Independence is missing, but is self-evidently understood through common sense - see the parenthesis below.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the (informed) consent of the governed" Thomas Jefferson
