INEXPLICABLE SCHEDULE CHANGE
Reader zscore reports: “I note with amusement that SBS had scheduled the BBC’s “The Power of Nightmares” to start this week, which argues that the terrorist threat to Britain is mythical. It was shown in Britain earlier this year, and sounds like an extreme case of moonbattery.
“Suddenly SBS has pulled the series, and replaced it with WWII documentaries broadcast only a few weeks ago. I wonder why.”
Over to you, Media Watch. In other history-dodging news, the BBC has rewritten its initial July 7 reports:
The BBC has re-edited some of its coverage of the London Underground and bus bombings to avoid labelling the perpetrators as “terrorists”, it was disclosed yesterday.
Harry’s Place was on to the BBC’s scam first. And in history-ignoring news, Margo Kingston’s Webdiary—with its army of editors, contributors, drifters, sleepers, and gloomers—is yet to post a single item on the London attacks.
