SHILLING FOR THE MULLAHS...

SHILLING FOR THE MULLAHS...

>> MONDAY, OCTOBER 05, 2009

I listened to an item on Today this morning in which IAEA supremo Mohammed AlBaradei was praised for his constructive engagement with the psychotic Iranian regime. Given that the Mullahs have run rings around the IAEA for years now, I wondered exactly WHO the BBC had found that holds such a view? Step forward Hans Blix! Remember him? He was the guy who set himself up as an arch enemy of George W Bush and an appeaser of Iran and thus he becomes a BBC hero. And as for the fulsome praise for Mr AlBaradei, I suppose it is justifed seeing as he has come out and declared that the biggest threat to peace in the Middle East is...ISRAEL.

A LITTLE BLACKMAIL TO START THE DAY..

Our wonderful Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, flies to Northern Ireland today to use "his negotiation skills as well as his wallet" to bring harmony between the IRA and DUP, currently bickering with each other over the timing of devolution of policing and justice powers.

Now then, I notice that this article finishes with the suggestion by Shaun "Where's my butler" Woodward that US firms are queued up to create jobsonce this element of devolution has been implemented. This is pure political spin and yet the BBC chooses to finish the item with it so leaving the reader with the impression that it is vital that this act takes place as soon as is possible. In doing so, the BBC aligns the story with the Irish republican position. Plus ca change.
