Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

The BBC and its not very subtle bias

Post by that genius »

So an IDF jet gets shot down by the Syrians:

https://www.rt.com/news/

and this is how the sleazies at the BBC try to spin it:

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-43014081

It crashes 'amid fire', LOL

because..because it's too painful to admit that the Syrians/anyone who is not our partner in crime could actually shoot down a plane?

Wankers.

Sorry, maybe I am being thick, but both reports say the jet was shot down by Syrians on a raid into Syria? Where is the spin? I am amazed that neither of these outstandingly accurate and unbiased news outlets have basically reported the same facts. I hate the BBC, lot of monarchist wankers aho gave up and serious investigative journalism years ago, but I am missing the point on this one

The BBC report heads it as the jet ' crashed or went down amid fire (drn), iow they were insinuating it went down, but probably not because the Syrians can shoot straight.

No it doesn't. it says "An Israeli F-16 fighter jet has crashed amid Syrian anti-aircraft fire after an " That is pretty plain English for it was shot down by anti aircraft fire isn't it?
Sorry but any other interpretation is a bit 'conspiracy theorist" for me.
and RT says
"Israeli F-16 fighter jet crashes under Syrian anti-aircraft fire amid IDF cross-border raid". it doesn't say it was shot down by anti aircraft fire either, just uses the worf under instead of the word amid
