Usual BBC stuff on Mariazell

We are quite used to this sort of stuff but it is good to have support from fellow Catholics from elsewhere in the world who become aware of BBC bias in reporting on Catholic events. Here is an extract from a report by an eyewitness:
BBC said there weren't throngs along the streets. Of course there hadn't been any plans or possibilities for such throngs and the streets were blocked by police, even the highway was lined by police. Every venue had a set number of tickets to give out, and all the venues were packed, despite the truly horrible weather. One could barely pass through the masses. BBC also wrote that only a few came to Mariazell on their own and somewhat snidely remarked that Church buses had brought in people. Yeah BECAUSE IT WAS CLOSED TO PRIVATE TRAFFIC ! One could only get in by train or bus. So yeah, the BBC is full of crap - and you can add all kinds of other news outlets. Either they don't do their homework or they are deliberately lying. People stood in rain, cold and wind for hours, the venues were all jam packed.

At Mariazell, quote, some of his older followers had to be given blankets due to the cold"unquote.So now we know the Pope has some old 'followers'. We also know thanks to the BBC that Mother Theresa was a Roman Catholic nun". I'd always thought she was a seventh Day Adventist, myself.
Really, crap is the only accurate word for BBC's distorted gibberish. Thinking that we are forced to pay them for this makes one add some adjectives that really are unprintable! I'd love to meet one of their twats responsible for this muck.

The importance is that Gerald has got a press pass for this event. This is because he is a blogger. Anyone can be a blogger, you dont have to belong to an organisation, conform to editorial policy, risk losing your job for going off message. You read about it by choosing to go to his blog

This is a massive change in the media, which is no longer a top down pyramid. The media hasn't quite worked this out yet as it will change society (and the Church) as fundamentally as the printing press did, and such a change can only be for the better as no longer will cliques be able to distort the agenda in their favour without challenge

One of the best things about the internet, if you use it wisely, is youtube. Personally I take my camera around with me a lot more than I used to - this digital camera business is wonderful, especially when you can do video clips. If you take film clips of crowds, etc. -- and your lyin-their-behinds-off-think-they-
control-the-news media starts putting out bunkum, you can just youtube it to the contrary, and with enough people bitching about the bad reporting, they can't get away with as much as they used to.

Here in the US Dan Rather (a lyin' leftie from the get go) was knocked down by the blogosphere when he tried to pass off forged documents as real. An alert blogger caught "them" in the act of lying their behinds off. Rather tried to stand by his stuff and it was downright embarrassing. Hang in there, and remember to document!

Yes, I read this too. This BBC anti-Catholic bias is now so brazen it beggars belief.

When oh when, is the archaic BBC licence fee going to be scrapped. There is simply no justification for it whatsoever in 2007!

Then they'll either sink or swim on the strength of the quality and value of their programmes just like every other TV station, satellite, cable etc...

The BBC licence is literally giving them licence to do as they please however bad, indifferent or insulting their product happens to be.

I noted in the Telegraph's Spy that the BBC's correspondent (David Willey) wrote - in that report - that the Pope was elected in April 2004!!!
To get the wrong year of his election and then write inaccuracies based on 'opinion' is pretty bad...

Yes, the whole world is aware of the BBC Bias, except the BBC of course. What I didn't know till the other day is that taxes of the people in England support this bias. Yikes.
