The way the media have sold this aleppo liberation is pretty odd.
Armageddon type rhetoric.
And the UN "believe" people have died. "We hope it isn't true".
Then the main networks run with it as the syrian government have murdered loads.
Comes across as a concerted effort to write it into the history books as genocide.
Boris has already spilled the beans, it's a proxy war hence all the BS flying around.Originally Posted by LordKenwyne
The UK media seem reluctant to portray what is happening in Aleppo as a 'liberation'. They also keep on forgetting to mention that the anti-Assad forces in Aleppo are mostly al-Qaeda.
A decent piece by Peter Oborne in this week's Spectator (right of centre) on double standards in western reporting:http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/11/y...-about-aleppo/
That's an incredibly damning indictment of the west and the lying western media - the BBC and the Guardian called out, too.
Thanks Nelson for posting that video. Interesting that the Canadian journalist highlighted the duplicity of the Guardian. What an absolute disgrace that paper is - I stopped reading it in March 2003, having been a reader for 25 years. Truly evil rag, worse than the Sun - and I say that as a Hillsborough survivor.
Mark Thompson, the man who covered up the Jimmy Savile scandal at the BBC, and now in charge of the New York Times shares his views on fake news. Some interesting comments follow the article.

As a balance to the above article, some views from the alternative media.

Obama quietly signs the Countering Disinformation and Propaganda Act in to law.

Game over then. A lot of folks saw this last act from B.O. coming. Us loony toons won't much longer be able to enlighten folks by googling and screaming "Look! See!..."
You can almost see the strings on Obama in that second link...

They have been airbrushed out
I cancelled my Times subscription yesterday.
The sarcastic dweeb on the other end of the phone who wouldn't take no for an answer said that in the era of fake news, it is "always important to get some high quality reporting".
They have blatantly trained these customer service people to bring up certain things so as to keep you interested. It used to take 2 minutes cancel. Then they went through a revamp of their website etc.
You should have told him the reason why you were cancelling was to avoid fake news
I did say that that is the problem and the times isn't know for real news.You should have told him the reason why you were cancelling was to avoid fake news
But I should have said more.
He was the most annoying customer service worker I have ever experienced.
I said this conversation has been going on for 9 minutes and I really just need it cancelled. He said no, it has been going on for 7 minutes and 43 seconds.
Even though I was staring at 9 minutes on my phone.
I don't know why you wasted money on that. It is rubbish compared with how it was 25 years ago. Instead of intellectual heavyweights like Brian Walden and Bernard Levin you now have lightweights filling up the columns with mundane comments about shopping or about what they had to eat last week. The only people worth reading are Matthew Parris and Melanie Phillips.
If you want to keep up with current events then just ask your questions on this forum and look at the replies by the more intelligent posters and their answers will tell you what's really happening. If you don't know who the intelligent posters are then just look at the avatar. If the avatar suggests virtue signalling – e.g. a picture of Paul Robeson – then the poster will be a foolish windbag. Ostriches, babies and Gareth Bale are all good avatars.
That's brilliant - thanks for that. Thank goodness this board has self-appointed comic geniuses such as yourself and your aliases.

To say that boils my piss is really an understatement.

It's about time they sorted out the BBC, as it was becoming a bit of a joke!
The guardian picking and choosing what has a comment section is why I don't read it."BBC sets up team to debunk fake news"

Was? still is, they are not sorting out the bbc, just everyone else, if they were they would be talking about this fakery
They know what kind of comments they would get on a story like this that's why.
