The BBC uncritically swallowed the Massacre Myth.
The BBC (et al.) didn't "swallow" the Massacre Myth; the BBC perpetrated the Massacre Myth. These characters are not passive; for them, lying is an active matter.
Which brings us to the Left-leaning media around the world.
Socialists are ideologues walking backwards while facing forwards. Backwards toward totalitarian Communism. And it's a fact that Communists have the same attitude about lying that Muslims do, except that when they're caught, they tell bigger lies to cover up their lies.
So the Left-leaning media lies easily and often, targeting those lies to destroy the U.S., and any country allying itself with the U.S., especially Israel, is gonna get caught smack in the middle of those lies.
The Arabs and the Lefties both are criminals, and support each other when they have a common enemy, usually us.
In America, we know all this. It comes to us with our mother's milk. We aren't the dummies the Arabs and socialists wish for.
