Britain - Terrorists Key Facts

Check out what the BBC calls key facts about the London terrorists.

Now do a word search and see the key facts the BBC ommitted.

Use these words, Muslim, Islam, terrorism and terrorist.

You will not find a single one of them in the BBC's "key facts".

The word terrorist only appears as part of anti-terrorist.

More than 1,000 calls have been made by the public to an anti-terrorist hotline


You can see whose side the BBC is on, can't you.

Hat tip House of Dumb

UPDATE

A Biased BBC commenter pointed out this BBC article.

"It is not the case that the BBC has stopped using the word 'terrorist'. "


And

The word terrorist is not banned from the BBC. We try to be as precise as possible in our language and the word 'bomber' is a more precise description, but we also use the word 'terrorist'.


Wouldn't Muslim terrorist bomber be more precise?

In fact, we've used the word terrorist on our main news bulletins, and the perpetrators have been described as such on numerous occasions in recent days by BBC reporters and independent commentators.


Then why did the BBC go back and stealth edit out the word terrorist from some of their online reports? See here and here.
