Biased BBC Opts For The Name, Not The Knife!
Having a slothful morning today…
..
..not!
…
The man who’s removing my leaky water pump and installing a new one arrived at 8am, thus waking me up.
Yesterday he arrived at 7.15am to inspect it!
However, thus dredged from the depths of sleep, I let him get on with it, and tuned into my daily dose of masochism, UK Pravda.

Along the bottom of the screen, they have an ever-changing series of news updates.
Today’s included ‘Police officer in Kenosha shooting named.’
Not ONE WORD on the big news from Kenosha!
Breaking: Investigators say knife recovered from car that Jacob Blake reached into…
..
Not the knife in the report – no picture yet available
..
The report from The Blaze, a non-left source, gives us this key info courtesy of the Wisconsin Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation … Read more
…and The Blaze headline also includes what the BBC graciously decided to let us know.
…identity released of officer who shot him.
In other words, a small right-of-centre part of the media in the USA gives us fair and balanced news…
…not the pinko pablum we are fed by the BBC.

Morning, Ross. I sympathise with you on the workman issue. A lot of my neighbours in Jakarta rise at dawn. They don’t appreciate the advantages of WFH.
I watched the BBC World News after I read your comments on it and you are correct.
I also noticed, never used to notice but more alert these days, that on their news at the top of the hour that they now refer to Blake as a ‘black man,’ but not an ‘unarmed black man.’
A reality check? Then they switched to the Sports News and the little man there went back to the ‘unarmed’ script.
Hopeless!
