THE BBC hit back last night after being named as the people behind the weirdest politically correct phrase of the year.
The American Global Language Monitor said the phrase "misguided criminals" - used to describe the July 7 bombers - topped their Politically inCorrect poll.
GLM president Paul Payack said: "The BBC attempt to strip away all emotion by using what it considers 'neutral' descriptions when describing those who carried out the bombings in the London tubes."
But a BBC spokesman said: "We would welcome the full context of Mr Payack's comments, as his assertion that we labelled the July 7 perpetrators 'misguided criminals' appears to be complete nonsense to us They challenged GLM to prove the term had been uttered by one of their news staff.
The phrase is on the BBC's website - in a comment piece by world affairs editor John Simpson on the terror attacks.
I'll take that challenge BBC because I reported on Simpson's outrageous comment 4 days after the Muslim terror attack. Here is what the BBC's own John Simpson said on the BBC's website, which, as you can see is still there, of the Muslim terrorists:
Now that the bombs have exploded, and thousands of newspaper pages and entire days of air time have been devoted to the horror of it all, and to the poor, decent people who are dead and missing, and to the misguided criminals responsible, perhaps we can stand back from it all and catch our breath.
Simspon sounds almost sorry for the terrorists.
There's your proof lying scumbags.

UPDATE
Just for fun, I used the BBC's own search feature using the phrase "misguided criminals+John Simpson" and found Simpson's article. All the BBC had to do was look.
