SirKenin -> RE: Left wing media. (9/22/2006 4:03:43 PM)

I was glancing through an article and I have to swallow My statements about the BBC. It is every bit as left wing as CNN.
Being left-wing is all about being anti-war. In the 1930's Churchill tried to use the BBC to convince the country that Hitler was a very serious threat and something had to be done immediately. The BBC (and much of the rest of the media) rejected his cries, and the world was almost slaughtered at the hands of Nazi Germany.
Hitler FORCED the world to see that he was a serious threat, but the media did not see it and would not report it. To this day they refuse to repent. In fact, they still do it. CNN has been actively downplaying the terrorist threat and actively preventing Bush from getting the message out that you are in danger. They have been downplaying the war in Iraq and using it to further their anti-Bush agenda.
John Kerry was anti-war. A war vet. Supposedly well decorated. Anti-war. That is what being left-wing is all about.
Bush has tried to warn you that the terrorists are a serious threat. You have ignored him. The media has ignored him. Until it was too late. Then they go HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! LOOK WHAT BUSH DID!!! And you tree huggers bought it, hook, line and sinker. You come in here completely misguided and misinformed and try to pretend that you are intelligent and informed on the issue when really you are anything but. When the truth is presented to you you either guffaw and repeat yourself or completely ignore it. It is no small wonder that the one's who really DO know what they are talking about left.
You sing the praises of the left-wing media, the left-wing opposition, and the conspiracy theorists with absolutely no evidence.
Here is an article from the Weekly Standard wrote on February 16:
“For the last week, much of Britain has borne witness to an outpouring of grief the like of which has not been seen since the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. When Baron Hutton … a hitherto rather inconspicuous retired member [judge] of the British supreme court, delivered his much anticipated report at the end of January on the death of Dr. David Kelly, a British government weapons expert, a collective howl of anguish went up from the well-upholstered parts of the media establishment.
“Lord Hutton concluded that Tony Blair, the British prime minister, was not guilty of lying about the threat from Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction when he made the case for war more than a year ago. Nor had he or his government ‘sexed up,’ in the immortal phrase, intelligence information about the nature of the Iraq wmd threat. The prime minister had been accused of both in a notorious report by the British Broadcasting Corporation that aired in late May 2003.
“Nor, for good measure, declared Lord Hutton, had Blair improperly ‘outed’ Dr. Kelly, the previously anonymous source for the report. Kelly’s exposure led more or less directly to the scientist’s suicide in July.
“By contrast, Hutton’s report found the bbc profoundly guilty. The original story by its reporter, Andrew Gilligan, that the government had deliberately inserted a false claim into a published document concerning Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction, was unfounded. Worse, the bbc had failed to ensure proper editorial procedures to prevent such an erroneous report from being broadcast. Then, without having properly checked the story, the bbc’s management refused to back down from the report even though some of its own editorial staff were quietly expressing concern about its reliability.”:

So, I stand by what I said. You are not centrists at all. You are left-wing, even to the point of being extremists. So, you see a reporting agency that blows sushine up your ass and spoon feeds you your daily dose of ever-so-comforting bullshit and you assume "centrist". But to a true centrist it is simply bullshit.
