No it isn't! Almost the only references to "Hassle Heathrow" (a term I've never heard before, in 20+ years using it) are syndications of stories from CNN about the opening of T5. -- Roland Perry |

It shows various pictures/images from western media and debunks them. Not to support China, but it does show how western media sensationalise things. CNN staged events in Nepal and used those pictures as if they were in Tibet. The chinese spotted the uniforms of the nepalese police and knew those pimages were fake. (that site is full of such fakes, including one from the bcc). CNN is not a new network. It is an entertainment network that caters to ratings. When ratings for Bush were favourable, CNN made sure it did not criticise Bush. |
