Hostage of the Media
Can we rely on the statement of a person who is not free?
Remember how the American soldiers captured by Saddam accused themselves of invading Iraq?
How they were portrayed by the Iraqi media?
That's exactly what Al Jazeera is doing with the Briton taken hostage. While CNN, and the New York times report the fact, Al Jazeera, the terrorists' spokeman, uses it as propaganda. That's known. However, look how the Spanish media report it: EFE, the Spanish news agency, remarks that Bigley calls Blair "a liar." Not even Al Jazeera (I hate to put links to the enemy's site) remarks the liar aspect of the news. Now, following EFE, other Spanish media made their day: that's what their international headlines look line, for example, La Vanguardia or El Mundo, left and right-wing media, respectively.
Now, Blair is to blame on the terrorists' actions. Very juicy angle for the news. No wonder that Spaniards accused Aznar of the massacre in Madrid of March 11. That's how media nurture them...
