ITV produced a documentary about the IRA with supposed 1988 footage of them shooting down a helicopter, but which was actually a youtube clip of Arma II. Morons :olo:

What? So ITV has now become as bad as Fox News for non-existent fact-checking, on-screen chyron mistakes such as calling Barack Obama "Osama" or labeling party-embarrassing Republicans as "Democrat" while using the wrong footage to mislead its audience, which Sean Hannity has done on 3 separate occasions? (never mind how many times the rest of the network has done it)

Wow...stop the fucking presses.

At least ITV hasn't taken the position that it has the right to lie to its audience...you know...like Fox News and Sun Media have openly done.

ITV news used to lie frequently back in the 90s when it was hosted by that posh-sounding shill who looked like a raisin. remember coming home from demonstrations and they'd report ridiculously low attendances (when compared with the numbers i'd just seen myself).

haven't watched it much since then because, apart from occasionally being total bollocks, it always seems to be reporting stuff you've seen/read somewhere else hours beforehand. it's also on the network with the worst visual identity i've ever fucking seen, and i remember Dutch tv from the 80s.

The broadcaster claims that allowing the lyric "free Palestine" would have comprised impartiality.

ITT seremtan ignores facts and blindly believes the far-left's party line that there is no Islamist problem in Europe and that the Islamists are "pretty cool dudes who doesn't afraid of anything"

No thanks, I'm not into that kind of thing. Please tell me how Islamists who want nothing more than to destroy and/or convert the Western world against our will are "peace loving" individuals and "not a threat"?

There is no Islamic problem in Europe. The real problem is people like Geert Wilders trying to make people like you believe there is.

I'm sorry, but you're wrong. There IS an Islamic problem in Europe. If you don't believe me, ask this guy:

Anders Breivik demands Medal Of Honor
The right-wing extremist who has admitted killing 77 people in the worst peacetime massacre that Norway has ever seen told a court Monday that he deserves a medal of honor for the bloodshed and demanded to be set free.

Anders Behring Breivik smirked as he was led in to the Oslo district court, handcuffed and dressed in a dark suit, for his last scheduled detention hearing before the trial starts in April. He stretched out his arms in what his lawyer Geir Lippestad said was "some kind of right-wing extremist greeting."

Reading from prepared remarks, the 32-year-old Norwegian told the court that the July 22 massacre — carried out with a bomb, a rifle and a handgun — was a strike against "traitors" he said are embracing immigration to promote "an Islamic colonization of Norway."

10 to 1 Dongwank (assuming he hasn't been banned) gives us the "breivik is a hero" routine (or alternatively, that he was a moron for not killing muslims instead)

also, breivik seems to have put on some weight. guess them feed them well in norwegian jails

so, if you kill a load of people because of a weird belief, and are proud of the fact, you get an insanity plea?

that's a sizable chunk of humanity in the rubber room, then
