Re: Armagideon Time

What the fuck happened to Channel 4 news? Up until pretty recently they were the only watchable terrestrial news service in the UK but now more and more they are just a bunch of whining sensationalists.

Why report seriously on 'Apocalypse' using religious nuts youtube ramblings as evidence of anything?  It's garbage! They use pop videos to tell us what's going on with the people in the middle east when there is footage every day being leaked of people being beheaded blown up and thrown off of roofs!

Apocalypse? It must feel like it to the people of Syria.  The only reason they report on Apocalypse is to trade on fear and to bring the terror truly to people's doors in the west. Not to make them aware of what is happening but to keep them glued to the box for the sake of themselves.

More over, they wonder why and how British Muslims are joining the fight.  Who is radicalising them? Sure, some really awful people are getting in their heads and doing it but also blame lies with the media who glamorise the fight in ridiculous news reports like this.

I didn't think it was glamourizing it, but it did capture the spirit of ecstasy and horror of jihad waged as a death cult. I think that was the point.

Channel 4 remains the best Brit news, Faisel Islam is unbeaten on the economy and Jon Snow is good to, always provocative.

Re: Armagideon Time

The line "defining war of their generation" set to Indiana Jones style map graphics, explosions and jihadists looking all cool then bafflingly a few minutes later another glamour war montage which along with pop video inserts had a fleeting shot of that bit in Lord of the Rings where the Eagles rescue Frodo from the lava flow on Mount Doom. Utterly ridiculous! How can they justify putting out such trash?

Channel 4 is definitely still the best. But they are the best of a bad bunch.


Sammy- I'm sure it's very easy to think like that in the middle of such horror.

I think more level headed journalism is advisable in these circumstances, surely?

Guru Murphy occasionally eats in Andrews in The Grays Inn Road, just down the road from their offices. He gets short shrift if he looks for special treatment though.

Re: Armagideon Time

Most news programmes are like this - the weirdest and worst are those (such as CNN) that replay the same footage of the same mayhem to give the impression that it is continuing - when in fact it was all over in seconds. We ignore the TV now and just watch DVDs and listen to the wireless on the internet - the news on which is just a summary - and even then we take it all cum grano salis.

Isn't the Syrian crisis really about the fact that many of the population don't want to be governed by a dictatorship anymore. God is a side-show and an excuse to inflict some mass murder.

There is a real opportunity to make money on war. It`s right time to do it! As soon as the first rockets touch the ground in Syria, petrol prices will move up as well as """"""" Resources, Inc. (M_ONK) bond price. Start making money on Sep, 11th, get M_ONK shares!!!
