Extremist suggests value judgement? You see folks what Israel has had to endure from the hands of the morons at the Beeb? Utter nonsense. Not calling them extremists, or even excrement, is a value judgement in itself. States (including Finland) need to divest themselves from news organizations that operate on public funding. Period.
THE DAILY MAIL HERE PULLS NO PUNCHES…….
Whose side are they on? BBC tells journalists to stop calling Abu Qatada ‘an extremist’ – and they can’t show pictures of him looking fat either (but we can, so here he is!)
- The term ‘extremist’ suggest a value judgement, say Beeb bosses
- Cleric should instead be described as ‘radical’

BBC journalists have been told not to call hate preacher Abu Qatada an ‘extremist’.
Using such a term to describe the man once called ‘Osama bin Laden’s right-hand man in Europe’, is making a ‘value judgment’ and should be avoided, bosses have said.
The corporation’s managers have insisted he should be described as ‘radical’, according to meeting notes seen by the Telegraph.
Journalists were also advised not to use images that suggest the preacher is overweight, the paper says.
OT, but UK related . . .a second suspect has been arrested in the case of violent Asian gang assault against Daniel Stringer Prince. I won’t post the story, but here’s the link as it provides no additional detail other than a 17 year old teen aged male was arrested. M.E.N.’s ‘journalism’ continues to disgust with the way Danny Prince’s identity and location as well as family relations are identified, yet the identities of 7 or 8 Asian thugs and the 3 girls that were involved in attempted murder remain veiled behind a curtain of protection.

Thanks WTD, I put it in a post, much appreciated.
