A continuing story


An attempted stabbing spree in Paris, resulting it the murder of one man and the fatal shooting by police of the perpetrator, produces typical BBC reporting.

Contrast the BBC's online report with that of Reuters UK:

Reuters reports that the killer is said to have had a history of mental illness, and that he carried a Koran in his bag and that a witness reports hearing him cry "Allahu akbar". 

The BBC reports the claims of a history of mental illness but avoids all hints of an Islamic connection, cryptically talking of "some religious items" being found in his bag and only reporting witnesses hearing him say that he was "out of medication".

This is such a familiar 'half the story' pattern that it almost goes without saying these days.

  2. Why can’t I just get the full facts from the BBC?

    The Daily Mail reports;
    Terrorist knifeman, 22, wearing a fake explosive vest and ‘shouting Allahu Akbar’ is shot dead in Paris after stabbing three people and ‘killing a 56-year-old man who was trying to protect his wife’.
    Bloodbath took place in the Hautes-Bruyères park, Villejuif, in Paris suburbs.
    Attacker appeared to be wearing an explosive vest and was shot dead by police.
    Witnesses told local media he shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the assault.
    One has died and another two remain in ‘critical condition,’ police said.
