They also write books

It is true I do not know a thing about rules of journalism. That is easy to admit and I bear no shame.

I do know when journalism offends me by trying to make me hate something against my will. That I do know and again, I bear no shame.

A great deal of journalism today is badgering me to hate Libyan Pres. Muammar Gadaffi. That I can not do. I have seen the techniques used far more times I care to remember and especially when people of color are the issue.

It is my understanding the Chinese and Russian delegations to the U.N. Security Counsel feel they can not make judgments on the Gadaffi regime due to lack of credible evidence. The delegations are perhaps seeing and hearing what I am hearing and seeing.

I am seeing and hearing journalist reporting in the most vile and pedestrian manner what they ‘heard’ is occurring on the streets of Libya. They tell you on full camera with their cameraman only feet away:
“Just about five minutes ago, right over there, 15 protester were shot dead at point blank range. Oh my God, it has horrible! There are no witnesses who want to come forth and be on camera. Now that shows you how crazy Gadaffi is and how much the people fear him!”
or
“It has been reported the sky just fell on hundreds of anti-Gadaffi protesters who were peaceably protesting in Tenneman Square here in Uzbekistan! That shows you what Gadaffi will do to his own people and how crazy he is! They say he has to go!”

When conducting interviews, they feed leading and negative questions to the interviewee who, amazingly enough just so happens to know how to play the hate game with appropriate feedback. I find the whole process disgusting! These people also write books on politics.

I must admit rarely witnessing this shenanigans occurring on BBC or the Al Jazerra channel.

Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I note nobody ever showing the Black Egyptians or Libyan and record what they have to say. And I wonder how that ‘Democracy’ thingy is working for the liberated people of Iraq? I hear there is grumbling.
