Schadenfreude

This is the New York Times BBC Schadenfreude Ping List. Freepmail me to be added or dropped.


This is the nascent Mainstream Media Shenanigans ping list. Please freepmail me to be added or dropped.
Please note this will likely become a high-volume list.
Also feel free to ping me if you come across a thread you would think worthy of the ping list. I can't catch them all!

I've already published an article that nails Gilligan, the BBC's reporter already exposed as lying about his whereabouts in "reporting" from Baghdad, that "the Americans are not at the airport." Another BBC reporter reported that the Americans WERE at the airport, but Gilligan was NOT there.

Can someone more computer adept than I make a link in this thread to my article, "Death by Typewriter," which was posted on FreeRepublic?

My conclusion is simple. This reporter, by his dishonesty, caused the weapons' expert's suicide.

I am utterly convinced that Gilligan fabricated the lion's share if not 100% of the story. I believe his notes to be a fraud, created in the comfort of his drawing room. The only question is, was Gilligan being driven by others and if so who were they? While I am not overly fond of Blair et al, overt undermining of a Western government using fraudulent material is warfare by other means. That would imply that Mr. Gilligan might have commited treason.

The revelation from Susan Watts, science editor of Newsnight, that Mr Kelly mentioned Mr Campbell's name to her in connection with the 45-minute claim in the dossier appeared to establish the veracity of Mr Gilligan's story.

Ms. Watts does not support Mr. Gilligan. See her story in today's Guardian. I hesitate to speak autoritatively since every nuance is important - so read the article.

Charge the fella with libel, slander, etc... and cut funding from the BBC for allowing Gilligan to spout his garbage even though they KNEW he was doing it.

Kelly also strongly denounced Susan Watts at the hearings. Both Watts and Gillian sandbagged Kelly. They also made their reports sound like they had multiple sources, not just Kelly. Typical jounalistic trix.
