Obwohl ich mir nicht wirklich vorstellen kann, dass die USA
tatsächlich auch den Iran überfallen werden: Einige unserer
westlichen "Vorzeige"-Mainstreammedien fangen erneut an,
US-amerikanische Propaganda zu verbreiten. Es werden erneut, wie vor
dem Blitzkrieg der USA und der "Coalition of the Willing" gegen den
Irak, Behauptungen des amerikanischen Regimes als Fakten dargestellt:

"Remarkably, in an almost exact repeat of events in 2002 and 2003,
the BBC is now reflexively boosting the US claim that Iran presents a
threat to the West.
On yesterday's BBC1 lunchtime news, diplomatic correspondent James
Robbins declared that US relations with Iran were "looking very murky
because of the nuclear threat". (BBC1, 13:00 News, January 20, 2005)
Robbins meant, of course, the +alleged+ nuclear threat from Iran.
On the BBC's 18:00 news, Robbins again spoke of Iran "where the
President is confronting the nuclear threat". (BBC1, 18:00 News,
January 25, 2005)
Is this balanced, objective reporting by the BBC?
Even as the staggering catastrophe that has befallen Iraq continues
to be played out, the BBC and other media are yet again preparing the
public mind for war. If the public can be convinced that this latest
'threat' is real, then politicians can again unleash their bombers
with impunity.
How many more innocent people have to die before journalists wake up
to their moral responsibility to protect human life, to treat Third
World nations as something more than Western playthings, to challenge
warmongering propaganda, and to develop their powers of independent,
rational thought?"
