BBC ‘News’ Links

Fascinating how the BBC covers events (or doesn’t). For weeks the BBC has been clamouring for war against Russia, so you’d think that it’s coverage of events would be ongoing but it isn’t. Today for example, so far, only two stories and one of them isn’t about the Ukraine and, both were published online  late in the day. Clearly for the BBC, news is only  ‘news’  when it fits the state’s agenda. You’d think for example, that given both the US and UK govts have been predicting a Russian invasion for weeks now, the fact that it hasn’t happened was NEWS! Apparently not, according to the BBC.

False flags: What are they and when have they been used?
