I have written about the MSM bias in Spain regarding the savage torture and deaths of the GIs in Iraq and the murder of Saddam's lawyer.
And the picture is really disgusting. Spanish MSM are more interested, internationally speaking, in the Guantanamo's suicides and the demonstrators in Vienna (only 1000 and we know the notice MSM gave to Madrid anti-terrorism rally only a few days ago), both news in front of all the MSM. Only one newspaper (La Razón) reports the news of the murder of the GIs on its front-page.
That was actually stunning to me that the MSM around the world ignored the anti-terrorism rally, which was, as I understand it, 1 million strong.
ReplyDeleteWell, er, no. If it's not anti-Bush, looks like it's not interesting.
ReplyDeleteAbout the numbers: there is a very important war about it. BUT when John Paul II came to Spain the last time, he presided a Mass just in the same place. EL PAIS -left- said then that there had been 1 million people -as the Vatican-, while the organization said there was 2 million. So I think the 1 million people more accurate. Besides I was there, and I can say that it was an enormous crowd. Of course, it has not prooduced the logic results and Mr Zapatero is going to announce the dialogue with ETA terrorists, despite yesterday 12 persons were detained for belonging to the financial net of the band. And one of them had a paper which showed they have been paid 64.000 euros after blackmailing someone. But you know, they are "freedom fighters". Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
But well, here Telecinco TV -owned by Berlusconi and one of the anti-war campaing in Spain- has been for a week or so with a campaign against US regarding the song of the presumed Marine. Jihad jihad,... and telling in every news round-up about the bad US Marines and the "illegal, illegitimate and unjust" Iraqi war. Of course, they have not said -or at least I have not heard of it- what really he was singing... EHEM... I do not know if the campaign continues now.
Anyway, as I ask in the post, how on earth people are not going to be Anti-American?
