No biased there. lol
The UK press is all disgracing itself over Mandela
The headline says something very different from the first sentence. The former is obviously false, whereas the latter is obviously true.
How dare he!
has he been tarred and feathered and necklaced yet?
“The headline says something very different from the first sentence.”
Yep! The headline is very deceiving.
A communist and a terrorist who’s organization killed people, he was only called a saint by the nice liberals.
Unionist Allister hits out at BBC 'uncritical Nelson Mandela coverage' - December 09, 2013 - NELSON Mandela "left a trail of victims" and backed a terrorist campaign overseen by the ANC, the leader of the TUV has said.The former South African president who fought apartheid "had the luxury of living to an old age and dying of natural causes, the victims of the terrorist acts at the hands of the ANC were not given such privilege," Jim Allister said.
As the world mourns South Africa's first black president, Mr Allister has criticised media coverage of the late statesman's death.
"I think the uncritical hysteria following the death is verging on propaganda," he said.
After the 1960 Sharpeville massacre, the ANC switched from passive protest to sabotage, targeting government institutions like power plants.
"I was particularly struck by the uncritical coverage by the BBC, ignoring part of the story which they clearly do not want to be seen," said Mr Allister.
"They've fallen over themselves to see the positivity, with one view, but not highlighting the pursuit and endorsement of terrorism which left a trail of victims."
Posting on his Facebook page on Friday, Mr Allister voiced his concerns by comparing the footage to that of Margaret Thatcher's death.
"When Baroness Thatcher died the BBC fell over itself to show balance; Mandela dies and BBC eschews anything approaching balance. And we've another week of this to go!"
bump
Blah blah blah.
In the immortal words of John Wayne:
“They talk too much.”
Mandela was a mutt.
Blah blah blah.

Mandela was a mutt.
And more blah!
BBC News chief defends Mandela coverage - December 09, 2013 - BBC News director James Harding has defended the extensive reporting on Nelson Mandela's death after the BBC received nearly 1,000 complaints. BBC One interrupted programming to bring viewers the news and extended the News at Ten. Many of the complaints were from those who felt the coverage was excessive given the worst storm surge in 60 years had hit the UK's east coast.Mr Harding told the BBC's Newswatch programme: "Firstly, I'm sorry if there are people who felt as though we didn't inform them fully of what was happening in the weather.
"But we are probably talking about the most significant statesman of the last 100 years and a man who has defined freedom, justice, reconciliation, forgiveness."
=========
During his time at the United States Department of State, Keyes defended the Reagan policy of not imposing economic sanctions on South Africa as punishment for apartheid.[28] Stated Keyes, "I see the black people in South Africa as the most critical positive factor for eliminating apartheid and building the future of that country ... And that is not something you do with rhetoric, slogans and noninvolvement. It's not something you will achieve through disinvestment."
=========
At that time, the black peoples were not (and as it is seen are not yet) fit for government. To me, Keyes has been one of the highest-self-motivated conservatives I have met.
VOMIT, there is no honesty at all left.
I agree.
This man is absolutely correct and has more moral courage than most politicians. To be a critic of Mandela during all this fawning new coverage, takes a lot of spine. Even Ted Cruz fell for all this propaganda.
Oh my to say something against the soon to be sainted Mandela? Goodness, how could he?
Everybody is trying to get in the act of kissing Mandela’s old dead terrorist ass. Even Ted Cruz and Newt Gingrich.
