Anyone who watched news early this evening could not help but hear the joyful chortling of the anchors about the US losing in the UN and being “put back in a box”. Well, as it it turns out it ain’t so.
I had a feeling this was the case. The idea the US would sit back and wait for the mushrooms to sprout is just too ludicrous to imagine… unless you are a European news anchor.
But hey, the TV newsies are going after a UK madrassa for child abuse and doing so with both feet and cleats in the air – so they have some redeeming values. They even aired a quote that a child had been told UK law does not apply inside the Mosque!
Yes, last night on BBC 4 I heard the outrageous editorializing masquerading as news and marveled at it. What they reported made no sense and I set it aside in my mind until this morning when I could get at some American news sites. The reporting on BBC 4 said nothing about the “material breach” clause and its implications and put a wholly inaccurate spin on the entire episode. Shameful but typical.
