Ergotism

One suspects the terrorists spent far too much time listening to the BBC World Service.

Let’s hasten to add that by no means should the BBC alone be singled out. When it comes to terrorists and their grievances, nearly all the Western media have provided them with a rich diet on which to feed.

Media Narratives Feed Terrorist Fantasies — Wall Street Journal

It should be noted that The Wall Street Journal takes the position that the BBC is not to be trusted, and that they’re in league with the terrorists. Their proof: Newsweek retracted their Quran flushing story. Well there’s a shocker. Apparently Newsweek is not a first rate news source. Who could have known? Exactly how Newsweek is connected to the BBC is unclear, but the Wall Street Journal assumes that those seemingly diverse evil liberal media scoundrels who are committed to helping the terrorists win are all actually connected behind the scenes by a sinister conspiracy, which the Wall Street Journal calls “a credulous Western media.” All news sources are suspect, except of course for the Wall Street Journal itself who has cleverly managed to evade the many-tentacled arms of the Bavarian Illuminati.
