BBC To Assist Georgian Propaganda Machine

[Magda Hassan]

While of course the BBC could not possibly broadcast a humanitarian appeal for the homeless and destroyed humans of Gaza as it may have compromise their precious impartiality they seem to have no compunction about setting up a Propaganda unit in the Georgian public television. Of course it is a well known fact that Georgians were not permitted to have their own TV stations during the soviet times or even since so they have no idea how to set up and run a TV station on their own and desperately need British help with this. No doubt the BBC will teach them all about being impartial. :adore:
