BBC a another low in it's biased reporting. Tens of thousands dead in Iraq ????

Counter | 06.02.2007 10:49 | Iraq | Other Press

In an article regarding the Republicans blocking a motion to debate the war in Iraq the BBC comes up with this worthy piece of news. "Since the US-led invasion in 2003, more than 3,000 US troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed". This is very much in line with their reporting of the anti war demo's before the terrible war on Iraq. This routine distortion of blatant facts is what the corporate media is all about.

How low can they go ? has the BBC reached the bottom of the sewer ?

Since the US-led invasion in 2003, more than 3,000 US troops and tens of thousands of Iraqis have been killed.

The old saying is that the Pen is stronger than the sword, maybe we could bring that up to date and
say that the Word processor is stronger than a few crates full of cluster bombs, certainly who ever wrote the above phrase has put it rather mildly, when you think that all of the 650.000 dead in Iraq died very violent deaths like being burnt with Phosphorus or blown to bits by some other high tech
murder weapon. This piece of crap shows very little respect for the dead.

I didn't see any headline stories apologizing for the false translation of
the Iranian presidents speech which they covered from all angles except of course the
correct one.
