New Odyssey, OLD SOUP.


I thought this video (below) was taken on March 21st from one of Gaddafi mercenary forces' mobiles (source: twitter, then through AlJazeera English)
Now, WHY does @BBCNews use it as NEW to report on the new NATO leadership?
Are they trying to show fire power to scared senile rulers (including their own)?

I am also quite tired to see the same reports in rotation over and over again, but proposed as LIVE. The same goes for interviews, phone calls, re-cycling of Internet videos and images and any other source that is not "fresh".

Please, put date, time & source on your images, will you?
Yelling "breaking news!" with old news is debasing. I just tune somewhere else (not necessarily on TV).
Also, if all you have is a one-liner from the press release, there is no need to fake a full report with old-fish pictures. Stinks even from my side of the screen.



ABC, BBC, CNN, EuroNews, SKY News, blah blah blah very little difference. Sometimes, even the same news order.

I was taught to read the news since I was a naive little boy, and I believe I built a genuine criticism to discern facts of life (as the media should report them) from MASS MEDIA SCRIPTS that I would be supposed to assimilate & repeat.

Sorry, I do not buy that.
Rather, talk to the people in the Jasmine Universities.
