Anyone watch this on BBC World News?
For over an HOUR the 'byline', or whatever you call the line of script that they run across the bottom of the screen) was an on running fucking COMMERCIAL for Palin!
It was 'Palin: thinks country needs change' --or-- 'We can win in Iraq' (Rah rah!) --or-- 'Gosh-darn it, ain't I cute'

during the first 57 minutes the ONLY "Biden:" line I saw was something like 'Biden: Thinks global warming is man-made'
which is obviously a partisan line designed to rile up the Reichers.

That was my FIRST profane complaint letter sent to BBC World News,


--THEN--


"BIDEN: MCCAIN KNOWS HOW TO WIN A WAR"


I tell you, I am LIVID.


This kind of propaganda I expect from our corrupt, Right-wing controlled media, but from BBC News?!

If anyone else saw this, PLEASE write them with a complaint and demand an answer as to WHY they ran a solid commercial for Palin/McCain.
I also asked them who was responsible for this Fair and Balanced bullshit 'a la Fox news, and if they were going to do anything about it.

If they don't answer me, profanity nevertheless, and they don't do anything about this and to who did it then BBC is blocked from my TV forever.
& I'm a big Brit-Com & BBC watcher. It would be a wrench to miss those programs -- but fuck it, I refuse to be their client just as I refuse to support Faux News if they want to try to further ruin our country.

They had Thatcher up to Blair ruin their society, they just want to see ours as poor, bleak and hopeless.

Fuck THEM.

2. I watched the whole thing...
I do not recall him saying that, Palin did.

And last I knew, the only war we ever won was WWII, which we did not do on our own.

3. Could be...
I recall another 'byline' (whatever it's called) that was attributed to the wrong person, but it wasn't that one.


I was so outraged with all I saw up until that point, along with trying and trying AND TRYING to access DU, that I now don't remember.

Good point! Doesn't SOUND like something Joe Biden would say...
which would make the BBC script writer (or whatever it's called) even a bigger liar, propagandist, sin(ner).


FUCK them!
