BBC Scotland use notice of review to repeat scare stories about Glasgow hospital but still not one person died BECAUSE of the infections

The review is of public interest but it’s not out yet. BBC Scotland have jumped on the news to repeat their scurrilous series of distortions at the time.

However, just as the forthcoming report gives them the excuse to repeat, it does the same for me. Here are some of our rebuttals of their stories of pigeons and deaths ‘after’ a pigeon flew past a ward window:

  2. From the BBC funnily enough!

    “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels. Among psychologists something like this known as the “illusion of truth” effect.

  3. Just revised their bulletin to repeat “there have been accusations” linking infections to deaths. “Jeanne Freeman has already apologised to two families who lost children”

    At the very end they mumble that the report shows there is no evidence linking these to any infections from hospital.

    Found some words in report saying design improvements could LOWER risk I am sure this is again spurious and not linked to anything of substance.

    The BBC keeping Scotland down with dead babies after the fiasco blaming SNP for council led decisions at cematries.

    They had the cheek to say this story made headlines for more than a week. I wonder why?

    Off to remove slugs from tatties I wish it was so easy to rid us of the slimy creatures from our (their!) media.

  4. O/T. BBC R4 and the UK government use the word “disparities” as the current euhphemism for racism. The word replaces “inequalities” , the former euphemism
