It looks like I'm not he only one who has noticed the lack of Al-jazeera on the web. The Register digs deeper. We all know that propoganda goes on, but how many people take notice the lack of consistency of the information we're spoon fed? Last night we were told that 70 tanks had broken out of Bassra. That figure increased to 120 later on. This monring, it dropped to 14 and "other military vehicles". CNN gives the impression that Iraqis are being killed by western love, the BBC is doing a decent job and appears to be balanced, but you soon notice the "information/figures/pictures supplied by" followed by an approved source or government. It's also slow to update. Reuters frequently updates but how much can be trusted? What is a boy to do? On a lighter note, the cot has been erected and Jenny the Giraffe is sat smiling at me as I type. The fat cat we call "Pudding" thinks it's great, we've made a new playground just for her. Less than 5 weeks to d-day. Apologies to Nick P btw for nicking his Blog template - cheers Nick! I'll put some links up next week. I promise. |
