  Media Bias on Terrorism
This is an excellent article by Jon Cruddas's campaign manager in the fine magazine Searchlight. It says a lot about the priorities of the media and the methods of the fascists.


White terrorism fails to make the news

The facts should speak for themselves. Two men were arrested last month with an array of bomb-making components and weapons. A rocket launcher was found, though some reports indicate more than one, as was a biological suit and chemicals that could be used to make bombs.

Surely this warranted front-page news?

Actually no. In fact, not a single national newspaper or TV station carried a report the following day despite Lancashire Police issuing a statement claiming that it was the largest bomb-making hoard ever discovered in a British home.

There have been a couple of short articles since then but even at a police press briefing only three national newspapers were represented.

Given the state of alert over the “war on terror” it seems inconceivable that this story was overlooked. Why? It is simple. The two arrested men were white not Asian. And most depressingly the newspapers were preoccupied with the debate over the veil.

The media blackout is more startling given that the two men were British National Party members and one had even stood for the fascist party in May’s local elections.
