Bias at the BBC

The BBC continues to be a mindless apologist for Islamic outrage and often the severest critic of American and Israeli efforts to protect themselves from such outrages but this morning (Aug. 14, 2007)  they outdid themselves by a an error of 100 x the real magnitude. You might like to look at this morning's 8:00 Am EST telecast of the news from the BBC-America where the news announcer without the slightest look of puzzlement or query.......

mentioned today as the first anniversary of last summer's cease-fire in Lebanon and that Hizbollah leader Nasrallah would deliver a major speech in Beirut today. She then reminded viewers that in... "that conflict, 100,000 Lebanese*, mostly civilians (sic ! and sick !), were killed;. Israel lost 187."

What this addition of two extra zeroes shows is not only the inherent bias of an institution that but that the so called "prestigious" announcers or commentators who work for the BBC have absolutely NO intrinsic knowledge of world events, but only read or misread the lines put in front of them. 

* instead of 1,000
