BBC: Al-Qaida is an "Illusion"

Is the once-respected network losing all credibility?

- October 17, 2004 -

 

        What on earth is going on at the BBC? On Wednesday (10/20/04), BBC2 plans on airing a show called, "The Power of Nightmares." Are you ready? Here's the theme, from the BBC's own web site:

"This series shows dramatically how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion. It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media." (emphasis added)

        Yikes. It sounds like a show that would make Michael Moore or Noam Chomsky proud.

 

TheMediaReport.com says ... Let the BBC ask those Russian schoolchildren if what they experienced was an illusion.
