BBC bias

Typical dishonesty of the BBC. The headline: US blocks extradition of 'bomber' The story: The U.S. refuses to extradite a Cuban-born terror suspect to Venezuela over a 1976 airline bombing. The facts: He was already acquitted twice in Venezuelan courts. That's TWICE, mind you.

How many times can you be tried for a crime? Depends. If you're a communist or a socialist, the trial itself is a showcase of righteousness. It is the spectacle of indignation that feeds anti-American sentiment. So, the answer is you can be tried dozens of times until the Left gets the results they want. And it really helps The Cause if you are a former CIA employee.

It also helps when friendly fellow travelers like the BBC manage to avoid the facts in almost every story about the suspect. (See his profile to the right of the article.) When you are a shill for the Left, though, you can't be too conversant with truth.
