Re: News or propaganda?
by Janjan
Of course there will be no controversy. This guy and his "expert" were just parroting the recieved wisdom of the Mainstrean European Media. My (albeit limited) experience with Great Britain is that it takes a titanic cosmic wave to shift the "story line" from what everyone is expecting to hear. No matter what inconvenient facts exist, it is very difficult to get them to move beyond what they expect the story to be. It's like the Christmas pantomimes, the story is always the same: "Poor suffering Hizb'allah (or fill in other Arab group), weak, almost defenseless, no room at the inn, etc etc.(plus they wear cool hats) Big bad Israelis, Jews, Judas, rude heartless etc etc...."
