The BBC Focuses on the Scourge of...Anti-Americanism! Yeah! That's the Ticket!
The BBC, perhaps the worst purveyors of anti-Semitic and anti-American drivel, is focusing on the scourge of - guess what? - anti-Americanism! It's bad, says the BBC! It's a fraud, says the BBC! It is based on horsecrap, says the BBC!
The BBC admits it is bad and a fraud and horsecrap! The three ways the BBC presents the news!
'Death to US': Anti-Americanism examined
We have posted hundreds of stories showing the rank bias, vile distortion, and hypocrisy that the BBC uses every day not only to push an anti-American program. That they call such bias "unfounded" is too hilarious for words.

'Death to US': Anti-Americanism examined
The US is perceived by many as an international bully, a modern day imperial power. At this critical moment in history, Washington correspondent Justin Webb challenges that idea.
He argues anti-Americanism is often a cover for hatreds with little justification in fact. His three part series takes him to Cairo, Caracas and Washington but it begins where anti-Americanism began - in Paris.

And Paris. Paris? Yes Paris - where it all began.
Anti-Americanism was born in France. And here's a fascinating fact: it was born well before the United States existed. It was not caused by Coca-Cola, or McDonald's, or Hollywood or George W Bush.
The prevailing view among French academics throughout the 18th Century was that the New World was ghastly. It stank, it was too humid for life to prosper. And, as one European biologist put it: "Everything found there is degenerate or monstrous."
In their heart of hearts, many French people still believe that to be true.
A French intellectual once compared the United States with Belgium. Wounding. But you see what he meant: the French capital has a grandeur about it that demands attention on the world stage. Belgium does not, nor does most of America.

And this is not a recent migration brought on by Mr Bush. In May 1944 (just weeks before American GIs landed on the beaches of Normandy), Hubert Beuve-Mery, the founder of Le Monde newspaper - certainly no mouthpiece of the right - wrote this: "The Americans represent a real danger for France, different from the one posed by Germany or the one with which the Russians may - in time - threaten us. The Americans may have preserved a cult of Liberty but they do not feel the need to liberate themselves from the servitude which their capitalism has created.
