The BBC has repeatedly said it will not disclose the identity of journalists' sources.

That's because the BBC doesn't employ any journalists, just Leftist propagandists and political commissars. ;-)

That's because the BBC doesn't employ[s] any journalists. just IOW, Leftist propagandists and political commissars.

Free, competitive journalism is inherently anticonservative; journalism is, was, and always will be anticonservative politics.

[an amused spectator]

You're just saying that 'cause it's true. ;-)

This is the nascent Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. Please freepmail me to be added or dropped. (Or if you can think of a better name.)

Please note this will likely become a high-volume list.

[Timesink]

For one last time, I'm pinging the NYT Schadenfreude ping list to invite you all to join the more general Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. (See post #7 above for more information.) This will be your last direct invitation, though of course you'll be free to join any time.

[Miss Marple]

Please include me on this ping list. Thanks!

The BBC said it resented the way the committee "was used to attack the integrity of Mr Gilligan",

And the BBC has never been used to attack anyone's integrity? I thought that was their prime reason for being. Oh, how it hurts when your own tactics turn back on you. Yes, that is when you cry about how unfair it all is.

Update. Now the man suspected of being the source of Gilligan's information that the panel disallowed has "disappeared" while out for a walk. Body found, no ID yet.

Please add me to your ping list. Thanks

Yup. Those of you on this thread should check out the new thread linked below. This story has just taken a Vince Foster turn. The question is, who's playing the Hillary role here: No 10 Downing Street, Andrew Gilligan, or the whole of the BBC?

DAVID KELLY GOES AWOL

I would be questioning the reporter at the BBC who has been acused of setting up false stories and leads and making sure they got to Intelligence in Britain.

Who is paying him, and who's agenda is in play.
This could unravel the truth, and finally show the
world that the KGB is alive and well throughout
Western Europe.

When the Berlin Wall was lowered, the REDS moved in,
and joined forces with terror groups, to try and
get thier people into powerful positions in the media
and the governement.

They are very successful at the BBC.

Ops4 God BLess America!

Earlier this week, he was grilled by MPs on the Foreign Affairs Committee about a meeting he had with BBC Defence Correspondent Andrew Gilligan, who filed the story.

And now one of the key members of Blairs team is being
presumed dead after this interview.

The BBC is KGB!

OPs4 God BLess America!

Sounds like Doug Thompson's source was in London too and helped this POS phoney reporter to trash Tony Blair.

BBC is so pathetic. If we ever find out that $oddomite and now the Murdering Mullahs of Iran paid BBC to be so anti American and pro Islamofascist, Gitmo would be to good for them.

Thanks to Registered we have a picture of their source, in fact his id.
