The BBC campaigns against the US in Falluja

The BBC continues its' campaign against the US in Falluja.

Recently I wrote about the BBC's use of a Falluja resident to "report" on what is happening in Falluja. Turns out the "resident of Falluja" is really a "stringer" for Reuters and the BBC in Iraq.

From Last Night's BBC News we learn more about the BBC's anti-US campaign.

Mr al-Badrani files stories for Reuters and the BBC's Arabic World Service. But to call what he does "reporting" (in any meaningful Western sense of the word) is absurd. If Mr al-Badrani didn't say what the "irregulars," as Jeremy Paxman has taken to calling them (or head-hackers in Mark Steyn's terminology), wanted him to say, he would have been killed or run out of town a long time ago.Yet the BBC fails to explain any of this -- not on its website, where Mr al-Badrani's stories are prominently displayed (see here, here, and here), and not on the Ten O'Clock News or Newsnight. Mr Badrani, whether he really wants to be or not, is a propagandist for the "enemy." We should be told as much.

" Mr Badrani, whether he really wants to be or not, is a propagandist for the "enemy." Indeed, and so is the BBC.

Last Night's BBC news has more, just keep scrolling.

This blog gets worse (and funnier) by the day. Does anybody actually take this rubbish seriously?
