The BBC is crap

this is from oxblog

"THE BBC - NICE TO TYRANTS, NASTY TO DEMOCRATS: So, here's what Tony Blair said (as he responded to a question asking whether he would continue to serve as prime minister in a third Labour term in government): "There is a big job of work to do - my appetite for doing it is undiminished."

And here's what the BBC reported in its lede: "Mr Blair, who said his appetite for power remained 'undiminished'...."

And not to let a good distortion go, the website then links to the story thusly: "Tony Blair sidesteps questions on the David Kelly affair - but says his appetite for power is "undiminished"."

The Beeb: the (kind of) grown-up version of telephone. "

what willful distortion. what a lie. what a total sack of shit the bbc has become.

how does:
"There is a big job of work to do - my appetite for doing it is undiminished. Who the country elects is ultimately for the country."

become:
"Mr Blair, who said his appetite for power remained "undiminished" despite his recent troubles..."

LIES! LIES! LIES!
