BBC
propaganda is manipulative and uses innuendo and insinuation to
create an impression
The
BBC hit-piece made from the journalist Gabriel Gatehouse has appeared
on-line. When I listened to the interview yesterday and heard this
person reeling off questions from a piece of paper rather than
conduct a proper interview I thought it was just a young
wet-behind-the ears 20 -year -old who knew nothing.
Turns
out he is one of the BBC’s “authorites” who speaks passable
Russian and has been based ther among other places.
What
hit me between the eyes was that he used the same footage from the
Douma hospital that has been exposed as a fake by Syrian doctors
speaking to Robert Fisk, amongst others without a single fact fact to
back up the contention.
The
whole narrative, according to the BBC, is beyond question without the
need for facts to back it up and anyone who questions it,backed up
with facts and testimony is just a “Russian bot” and is
“parroting Russian propaganda”.
When
I played it to a trusted friend she reacted strongly and called it
“sinister”, as it indeed is. Pam observed that “they use
sophisticated audio and visual effects to manipulate the minds of the
audience tomake the Russians appear unreliable and sinister”.
The
words that come to mind for me are: manipulative, innuendo,
insinuation.
And of course lies of various desscriptions.

Watch
the BBC version"
And compare it with the actual inteview (in full, as captured by Ian560).
Veteran
journalist, John Pilger (who alone is worth more than a whoel
batallion of contemparary BBC hacks) expresses the nature of the BBC
better than anyone.

Dr
Marcus Papadopoulos on Sputnik discussing the true nature of Western
media
As I was putting this together I found these comments I made a year agao:
Just
as I will not engage with anyone who wants to push their own agenda
including abrupt climate change I will not engage with anyone who
denies what is happening geopolitically and makes throw -away
comments about "fake news" , a meme that has been invented
by a mainstream media that lies for a living on things that matter.
For
those people who cast aspersions on Russian media I have been
following media every day for almost 6 years and I have never once
found a case where RT or Sputnik consciously lie or mislead. Their
facts are almost invariably correct. They may omit things that don't
suit them or show bias like any media.
This
is in contrast with CNN, WaPost, NYT, BBC, Guardian who have
concocted whole stories that have been demostrated to be totally
false.
With
all the acusations against RT etc I have NEVER ONCE found that they
could give any examples of where they have lied. They are simple
'anti-democratic' (as in 'anti-Soviet') and guilty simply because
they do not go along with the prevailing narrative and push with war
against Russia, Syria. Iran and North Korea.
