the BBC doing something far too pc

[Taffy_is_a_Taff]

I understand that the BBC initially used terrorist in the immediate aftermath of the bombing but is now trying not to use that term.

There was even some guy on the news trying to justify this behaviour so it's not just the Telegraph that believes this to be the case, so do some hardcore supporters of the BBC.

The article JAG quoted was two days after the bombing and used the word "Terrorist" once and that was not even used directly to refer to the bombers in London.

I think what we need to is look at the BBC's coverage of Tony Blair's statement to the commons that the Telegraph article refers to.

I am doing that now.

Looking through the BBC website at the moment. I have only found "terrorist" used in quotes or in the name of a police hotline in their headline London aftermath stories.

So I entered "terrorist London" in their search and I only found "terrorist" in quotes, as part of a hotline name and comments by people (plus one diary article) except for one article that referred to "terrorist incidents" rather than calling the bombers terrorists.

I found references to bombers though.

Well, well, well I found Tony Blair's commons statement on the BBC: "terrorist" is used because it's all a big quote yet the BBC commentary on the statement does not use "terrorist" except where it quotes Tony Blair.
