Are you serious ?

Maybe not.

I believe that those reporters sent into the rough are not ever from any western media giant.

Usually, it's Al Jaazeera's Arabic branch is the only network with the contacts needed and the protection required to get such interviews.

Although there are quite a few western reporters which have managed to get right in the midst of senior al Qaeda leaders and reported extensively about them.

One of them is Lawrence Wright who usually writes for the New Yorker, the rest are mostly dead.

I don't know about you but I find that on a human level, what went on beside the failed bombing and the preparation of it is far more gruesome and horrid than just seeing a few scattered human bits in war zone which is something we see on the news everyday.

I think a video showing bits of limbs, heads and guts all over the road is more likely to be removed from the BBC for being gruesome, than the video in question. I know what the people in the video were doing was shocking, but what was actually seen in the video wasn't. It would never have been published otherwise.

When I was about 15 or so, I remember a 9:00pm BBC news broadcast from South Africa by Michael Buerk showed a report. A police informant's house surrounded by ANC activists was broken into, and the man chased by a group out of his back yard and into the street. They grabbed him, hit him in the face with an axe, and then placed tires over his head all the way up to his neck. At this point he's dazed and cannot move, but standing upright.

They then poured fuel into the hole he was standing in, and set it alight burning him to death and a melting pile of rubber. The BBC showed the whole think on BBC 1, after warning the audience. This was in 1987 or so when there were only 4 channels in the UK.

It's a bit difficult for people living in a country where a stray nipple on network TV can cause an national outrage, and who probably think they invented freedom, to appreciate and understand what it's like to have a national network that's genuinely free and actually makes people sit up and take notice of the atrocities that happen in the world. CNN would never have the balls to do this, because they're too dependent upon squeamish advertisers and their cash. Neither would any other network here.

True, the BBC has also been ground down over the years by censorship.

Seems we're eroding our own freedoms in the west. TV journalism used to be great in America too... Watergate, that was a TV network.

Now it's cats in trees and car-crashes. TV news is sh1t. Sparafucil said it best, you need a few decent periodicals, or a good book.

We genuinely appreciate the creativity that goes into Sun headlines at my work. Some of the wordplay is very good. Shame about the standard of reporting.

Your jokes are definitely better. Weirdly, this is correlating to the stock market tanking. Sadist.
