BBC may be a CIA or MI5 operation. But most likely they selectively edit to tell the story they want to tell.

I'd be the last one to say that MSM is obsessed with providing dispassionate, complete reporting. But selecting a clip that seems accurate at the time, and choosing a different one later as their understanding of the facts changes, would give the same result as a deliberate doctoring it to sway the populace toward war. You can't tell which motivation prevailed just by the evidence here - without access to the unedited footage, you get to make whatever interpretation fits your pre-existing impression of the organizations involved.

and the credibility of metabunk isn't involved here, by the way, unless you want to claim they fabricated the BBC's argument. But if the BBC is a creature of MI5, they don't need metabunk's help. If they're not, then why did they get involved in inciting the populace anyway?

like I said, it needs to be investigated, ... but in this world, at this time, I'm not expecting that to happen ...
