It's not because ABC tell it


If you don't want us to "Consider the Source," don't post an article by Robert Fisk. Not on a "stack of Bibles!"

Ah yes, Robert Fisk, who bestowed his name (though not intentionally) on a new art form, "Fisking", due to the responses provoked by his self-involved, self-righteous, ideological and wildly inaccurate reporting.

Remember, bacchus, this is the guy who spent April telling the world about the "massacre in Jenin" -- atrocities! hundreds of dead! children bulldozed in the rubble! mass graves! town of Jenin leveled to the ground!

All lies. Fisk never took a word of it back when the story was proved a hoax. At least his colleague on the Independent, Phil Reeves, had to decency to admit he'd fallen for Palestinian propaganda.
