BBC, still clueless after all these years.

BBC reporter Alan Johnston was abducted by terrorists. The same terrorists that the BBC refuses to cover with the same vigor with which they attack the U.S. Desperately trying to not side with America or anyone who opposes terrorism, they actually call the terrorists kidnappers. Seriously they do.
The kidnappers of BBC correspondent Alan Johnston have released a new video of him in which he is wearing what he says is an explosives vest.
Pathetic. Now he is a bomb, and still no outrage from the Beeb.
In a statement, the corporation said: “It is very distressing for Alan’s family and colleagues to see him being threatened in this way. We ask those holding Alan to avoid him being harmed by releasing him immediately.
“We are keeping his family fully informed and offering them our continued support.”
I wonder if his family is as pro-terrorist as the BBC? I doubt it.
“Captors tell me that very promising negotiations were ruined when the Hamas movement and the British government decided to press for a military solution to this kidnapping.”
I like how they lump in the British government with Hamas. As if Hamas was a legitimate government and the Brit government was a terrorist organization. What is sickening is that they think they can buy his freedom, and not be just as dirty as Hamas. Sick.
The BBC is in a pickle. They can’t really condemn terrorists since they routinely side with them, and yet they have to appear to be righteously indignant. I have no sympathy for them. Sadly Mr. Johnston is suffering due to the BBC’s idiocy.
Sadly the BBC won’t admit they are in bed with terrorist, just as the NYT, LAT, and Moveon.org.
** UPDATE **
Another story the Beeb won’t cover; Iranian Secret Police attacking dissidents. They can’t blame America (like when the fake Gitmo stories came out) for all the ills in the world, and this proves America right and the Beeb wrong.

Sad that one man has to suffer for the BBC’s willful ignorance.
