This is a headline from Britain’s BBC. Notice the careful wording? Notice the obfuscation? Notice the sniveling cowardice?

Imagine them saying:

“Russia discussing options to acquire Ukraine, including the use of military, says Kremlin.”

It would never happen. And this shows how subservient Britain and much of the West is to American imperialism.

The use of the word “acquire” is especially nauseating. One acquires a new skill or a new bathing suit, not a sovereign nation. Yet, this is what the BBC thinks is journalism. It should also be noted that a leaked memo advised reporters and journalists to avoid using the word “kidnapped” in reference to the Trump regime’s illegal abduction of Venezuela’s president and first lady, even though Trump himself said that word was accurate.

Like so many other Western media outlets, the BBC has provided justification and cover for Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza. And now it is doing the same for the United States as its criminal regime threatens Hitlerian conquests of its neighbours.

Journalism is the hard work of telling the public the facts, not sugarcoating them to protect the powerful.
