The Prudes over at the BBC

On this side of the pond I often hear this word used dozens of times a day

These words are almost the entire story, yet the BBC can not report them?? WTF is going on over on this island? On this side of the pond I often hear this word used dozens of times a day, are we to believe that fancy pants brits cant be confronted with the word on the news even when it is intrical to the story? THis sounds like the works of the same fanatical nanny state that has aims of outlawing pointy kitchen knives and regulate knife blade lengths.

Top U.S. diplomat launches f-bomb on EU in leaked recorded conversation

A leaked audio recording of a phone call allegedly catches the top U.S. diplomat to Europe working on a behind-the-scenes deal to end the Ukrainian political turmoil, and using profanity to express strong frustrations with inaction and indecision by the European Union in resolving the crisis.

In the conversation, voices closely resembling those of Assistant Secretary for European Affairs Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt discuss a plan to broker a deal between the Ukrainian government and the opposition.

At one point the woman, who sounds like Nuland, can be heard saying "f**k the EU."

Did you firget to buy some prunes when you were out shopping, hawk?

Dear me, it comes across as if you are really genuinely angry about this, rather than just write something to try and upset a limey.

Pretty good effort, old boy.

Bad journalism offends me

Un asked for paternal protection if my alleged fragile state offends me

Censorship offends me.

Yes, this piece offends me, had I known how poorly it was done I would have not taken the time to read it, I would gave read a better account first, which I needed to do because I wanted to know what the alleged offensive word was. I get equally worked up with accounts of alleged rape or alleged child porn, which journalists now refuse to specify, when I know that since the definition of rape and child porn is now so expansive the labels are of very little use. Tell me what
allegedly happenee without hiding behind euphemisms. I can take it, and journalists and governments owe me the truth rather than their characterizations of the truth, which all too often is all they offer.

See the accounts of the operations of the NSA and the CIA for illustration of where this gets us, not to mention the invasion of Iraq.

The cnn story informs us of what the offending word was, the BBC story on the other had only asserts that something offensive was said with telling us what was said. Not the same.

**** = prude
f**k = not prude

Get a life, mate.

Do us Brits fascinate you that much?

Do you spend all day checking out various news articles from around the world?

Can you direct me to any critical reports you've made regarding, let's say...... Fox?

Or is it just the beeb that you read?
