that media bias thing

It's the BBC, so my question is more like why dont they ever change? They got another story also quoting "hamas security forces" as the basis for the whole thing, and each one of those are always debunked, since they're choreographed propaganda. whatever.

big cry story for the past week
Israel has allowed four Palestinian students to leave the Gaza Strip to apply for US visas so they can take up prestigious Fulbright scholarships.


Which creates more questions(where do they go to school anyway?) anyway. But this gets zero coverage:
A barrage of four Kassam rockets slammed into the western Negev city of Sderot and the surrounding area on Friday afternoon, followed by another Kassam rocket landing in an open area in the Eshkol Regional Council less than an hour later. No one was injured and no damage was caused in the Eshkol Region.

Nine mortar shells had been fired at the western Negev in several attacks earlier in the day; three of the shells slamming into the area less than an hour before the rocket barrage. A building at a kibbutz near Sderot was damaged in one of the attacks, but no one was wounded.
One of the Kassams exploded near Sapir College, on the outskirts of Sderot, damaging a building on the campus as well as six cars. A second rocket slammed into the city itself.


The harmless rockets and morters killed one, and injured some.
They give fulbrights to explosives majors now? Or are they going to pick nuclear engineering?

No . . . fake stories like millions of dead Palestinians (wow, Hamas and Hezbollah must be ready to surrender) and global warming (which just can't be an EU scam in order to create carbon-trading slavery) get on the news instead. And whomever is Drunk Female Celebrity of the Month.

I forgot one I remembered after I posted, and now I forget what it was again.

As far as global warming, it's not that it's fake(which it ain't), it's that the johnny-come-latelys are so bloody annoying. Like the campaign to light one less hanukah candle last year as one example off the top of my head, and it just goes downhill from there.

Just like 30 Rock's episode, they found a bandwagon to jump on to sell me junk. I like aweness, don't little, don't suck the oil, but man.

Global warming is fake (especially the "man-made" bit, which as I said is a vehicle for the EU's "carbon trading" scam). We're experiencing global cooling right now.
