"from the BBC, the very fucking imperialist mouthpiece whose propaganda stoked the fire for wars in Yugoslavia and Iraq. " This is not the same BBC I remember watching in 2003 before the invasion of Iraq. In fact, before, during and after, I remember watching critical accounts of the US invasion on the Beeb. In fact, MAY 30, 2003 http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2003/may/30/Iraqandthemedia.bbc "The government is likely to face fresh embarrassment over the war in Iraq when the BBC screens a major documentary series about the conflict next month. The series, which begins on June 15, shows defence secretary Geoff Hoon repeatedly insisting Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction would be found." The documentary's timing will fuel the debate over the legitimacy of the conflict as the hunt continues for any evidence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction." So how this becomes "the BBC, the very fucking imperialist mouthpiece whose propaganda stoked the fire for wars in Yugoslavia and Iraq" is beyond me.
