View Full Version : The more I watch the BBC, the more I realise how incredibly anti-american it is.
Dr Lou Natic 03-27-03, 11:00 AM Anyone notice? Its very subtle, at least al-jazeera are laughably anti-american to the point where only a retard would believe a word they say but BBC do it in a snide sneaky way.
"iraq say 360 civilians killed by the us military"
And every single person they seem to interview happens to be talking about what a "resilient and great" nation iraq is or how they disagree with bush or something, and then there is a load of almost undetectable little things the journalists say that indicate what seems like their own feelings on the subject that also always happen to put the us in a negative light.
They try and make it look like they are supporting their country but they can't help "exposing the dirty truth" , its as phoney as hell.
At least the BBC doesn't make the war look like a game show (like CNN) What's the point of all those special effects?
pillowtalk 03-27-03, 07:57 PM guys... wake up..
england is on US side- they are in the same shit w/this war..you should watch other countries TV's in order to see the real face of this terrible WAR..
US media is wrong- whatever you are watching about war, or any other international issues are LIE... they are lying to you everytime... i do not know how you can be that naive and think you are soo free that, your media never does that.. you are soo brainwashed with 'AMERICANS ARE SAVING THE WORLD' holywood movies that, i think YOU PREFER LIVING IN THAT DREAM WORLD..
ok, keep on sleeping, but please do not tell anything about nonamerican media- since its different then yours, that does not mean they are all wrong and you are right.. thats pathetic..SOO AMERICAN..
reformedtopunk 03-27-03, 09:21 PM To the good Dr.-
maybe its because the majority of people in Britain are against the war?
Fafnir665 03-27-03, 09:39 PM are you saying the only reason their fighting is because we saved their ass in WW2?

Yeah thats what I was thinking but BBC is usually more professional than this, actually they are still very professional, very professionally playing subtle mind games with the public. No I am not saying this because they are going against my views or anything like that, I just think its strange, they outwardly appear to be on the coalition's side but then they say wierd little things that indicate otherwise, its like they are trying to make it look like they are sad that it turns out america is a bad guy or something its very odd.
I don't want them to be on anyones "side", just tell the news, but they don't, its like it was made specifically for anti-war people to pick apart and feel good about themselves and its almost like they are sacrificing themselves for that trivial and bizarre cause.
Its hard to explain, but think about it when you're watching it, if you do watch it.
That's just paranoid. Maybe your just not used to listening to british people talk, and everything they say sounds like sarcasm to your untrained ear?
The Marquis 03-27-03, 11:46 PM Actually the latest polls are showing in England and Australia that support for the war is actually growing now that it's started.
There are so many unfounded beliefs being thrown around on the forum these days and accepted as truth I'm hardly bothered to write anything anymore. The fact is, there is no "truth", and even after this thing has been finished you still won't find it. All you'll find are more "facts" from one source or another purportedly supporting your position. But in the interests of refuting yet another piece of disinformation, or perhaps showing that there is more than one "truth" out there :

SuperFudd 03-28-03, 12:23 AM The last I heard, a majority of Britts approve of the liberation of Iraq.
Yeah, the BBC is almost as bad as ABC (American, not Australian).
CHRISCUNNINGHAM 03-28-03, 12:42 AM I was watching a show on FoxNexs, called the O'reilly Factor and he had a consultant from the UK, make their take on the BBC repoting trend, and he said it is slighted towards anti-american views so noticably becuase it is liberals that are doing the reporting. And in fact the correspondent of the BBC network, wrote a letter explaning his disagreement with what his OWN network is repoting. The BBC is altering the facts of the war in order to weaken Coalitions Forces' Intergrity. And they are doing so, like many other Liberal Medias, in order to help support THEIR own, inane beliefs and takes on the war.
It absolutely ridiculous.
Isn't that the network that makes conservatism part of its policy?
So, what equals the truth, people? Whatever justifies your bloodlust?
I know it's easier to pretend that the US is some benevolent gift from heaven unto the peoples of the world, but sh:eek:t, people ... what the hell is wrong with y'all?
Perhaps it hasn't occurred to you that one needs not go out of their way to be anti-American. Compared to the American ego, anti-Americanism is a natural result of American behavior.
An example: My father, once upon a time, could not understand why I was upset that American companies were engaging in child and slave labor abroad. Of child labor, specifically, he noted, "At least the children have the opportunity to support their families." I asked him why we couldn't pay the parents a livable wage; he replied that it would damage our standard of living.
Now, I never called him greedy to his face. But he acknowledged the terms of what greed is, acknowledged its place in the scheme, and acknowledged his support for the scheme on behalf of his own standing. He concluded that A+B must equal C, and objected that I called him greedy.
So, now, wait a minute. He admits to the conditions of greed and boasts that he does, indeed, accept and support them. Yet I should feel badly because my disapproval of greed somehow hurts his feelings? (Of all the strange things, he would apologize for that string of arguments some years later, as Enron led American commerce into the moral collapse he'd always denied was possible.)
Likewise: The United States has gone to war in violation of its obligations. How is pointing this out anti-American? The United States has offered to provide content for "free press" and has told non-embedded reporters that doing their jobs may cost them their lives. How is discussing this state of things anti-American? The United States forged "evidence" with which it attempted to win international support for this war. How is considering the weight of that deception anti-American?
Point: If the news seems too anti-American, perhaps it's because that's the news Americans make.
Why jump in the wallow and then get upset when someone points out you're dirty? It may not have anything to do with you, but merely reflect the facts.
But it's kind of hard to not be anti-American without lying to myself. It doesn't require any deliberate effort. The wrongs of the Hussein regime are long-standing and need to be corrected. However, the world is stunned by the plethora of new wrongs introduced to the situation by a drooling, rabid American war movement that has essentially flipped off the rest of humanity. It may not be that they're being directly anti-American, but that the news is just so bad that you perceive it that way.
Simply acknowledging reality tends to seem anti-American, especially to the paranoid.
:m:,
Tiassa :cool:
CHRISCUNNINGHAM 03-28-03, 02:19 AM A:We FORGED evidence????
Is that why Saddam was threatening to use weapons he said he didn't have.
B: It is ok to oppose the war, but not supporting troops, and an American Victory is anti-americanism, condeming the action of our Government is anti-ameicanism.
Simply not agreeing with it is quite alright.
But what I am starting to realize is that all you people who are whining and crying about our attemtps to destroy SADDAM and HIS REGIME are most likely the same people who would be whining and crying a few years down the road about how our government didn't do anything to prevent fighting this New World War against Iraq, Iran, Libya, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea, who finally had time to stockpile weapons and make a DEVASTATING blow on the Infidel Powers.
