   Why Fox News is a joke
ClickyThe BBC didn''t do half the things that he claimed they did.  The scary thing about it is the large number of people who saw that and believed what he said. 
  No sound, but you should remember that the same guy who runs FOX news hates BBC with the red hot passion of a thousand burning suns. I''m not saying it''s justified, but now you know of one of the reasons.   I Want My Island"The same people who so greatly oppose slavery, so much that they are willing to kill over it... have just forced me to fight the battle for them."- Robert (I Want My Island) ;  i thought the US and the UK were buddies...if that guy is talking so agressively about the BBC, i wonder what kind of hate speeches he has to give about france''s media... ;  wtf? do you often see this kind of sh*t in the states?? ;  This makes me very glad I have stopped watching the news on TV... ;  welcome to america ;  I''ve never watched fox news, but I never knew it was that bad ;  Thats a parody right? ;  What this or Fox news itself? Yes, Fox news is a parody of real news that retends to be the real deal. ;  Here''s the transcript:quote:[title] My Word [/title]Well, today, the British Broadcasting Corporation was forced to pay up for its blatant anti-Americanism before and during the Iraq war, a frothing-at-the-mouth anti-Americanism that was obsessive, irrational and dishonest.The BBC, the "Beeb," was one of the worst offenders in the British press because it felt entitled to not only pillory America, Americans and George Dubya Bush, but felt entitled to lie, and when caught lying, felt entitled to defend its lying reporters and executives.The incident involved a reporter, Andrew Gilligan, who made a fool of himself in Baghdad when the America invasion actually arrived in the Iraqi capital.  Gilligan, pro-Iraqi and anti-American, insisted on the air that the Iraqi army was heroically repulsing an incompetent American military.(Video from our own Greg Kelly, from the American army, moving through Baghdad at will, put the lie to that.)After the war, back in London, Gilligan got a guy named David Kelly to tell him a few things about pre-war assessments on Iraq''s weapons programs and Gilligan exaggerated - LIED - about what Kelly had told him.  Kelly committed suicide over the story and the BBC, far from blaming itself, insisted its reported had a right to lie - exaggerate - because, well, the BBC knew the war was wrong and anything that could say(?) to underscore that point had to be right.A British government report slammed the BBC today and a Beeb exec resigned to show they got it.  But they don''t.  The next time you hear the BBC bragging about how much superior the Brits are at delivering the news, rather than Americans who wear [sarcastic] flags in their lapels [/sarcastic], remember: it was the Beeb caught lying.[signing off] My word... that''s my word [/signing off]Please, for the love of God, let that be a parody.  There''s no way that any news organisation could be that stupid, is there?  (If it''s not, I note the irony in the fact that the last paragraph talks about the BBC thinking it''s better at news, when that broadcast is so absolutely daft it underlines the point.)Please let that be a parody.  Sadly, I''m not sure that it is.(Incidentally, this is my 1,000th post.  Yay!)
