BBC TV News Contradicts Lebanese PM

The Wall Street Journal has some interesting nuanced comments about Lebanon. Funny, they were contradicted completely by the propaganda masquerading as news from BBC he/she/it Orla Guerin, whose commentary makes Al-Jazeera look even-handed.

The BBC coverage first noted Hezbollah handing out $10,000 in $100 bills that looked strange in the extreme close-up shot. Could these Ben Franklins be from the sheets of $hundreds photographed by alert photojournalists during the recent dust-up in South Beirut? Strange they should have millions of dollars in hundred-denominations so soon after the cease-fire, or maybe not so strange if they got them from Kim Jung-Il's handy-dandy presses via their Iranian benefactors. Counterfeiting isn't only done by fauxtographers in Beirut, but by Hezbo-bankers as well!

Not that you'd have the MSM snooping into any evidence that the "victorious Hezbollah," as Guerin calls the terrorist group, might be as fraudulent with currencies as they are indiscriminate with their Katyushas filled with ball-bearings into Israel.

You don't have to be guilty of "lookism" to notice that Guerin is as homely as her commentary is biased and inaccurate. On the accuracy front, she assures her viewers that the Lebanese Army and UN Forces in the south are making no moves to disarm the Hezbollah, nor "would they dare to" because the terrorists are just so darn popular down there. [This contradicts actual journalists who have assured us that there are grave misgivings about Hezbollah both in Beirut and in the multi-confessional areas of the south].

Any network who employs a shill for terrorism like Guerin will remain unwatched in the USA, but since the BBC is government-subsidized, there are no penalties for gross lapses in journalistic ethics or outright factual errors. The administrative cadres in BBC have hacks like Guerin covered on the homefront.
