And posting links to 'news' reports is simply regurgitating the media that we are supposed to be here to refute.

I firmly believe that, much more often than not, the media does report accurately. Not to say they don't mislead or lie from time to time, but thinking that they're lying all the time is pretty insane.
Hopeless, Incompetent, Laughable, Finally The Truth About "Terror"
A TV talking head has finally characterized last week's non-events in Britain for what they were, in the face of a blitz of frenzied hype, hysterics and fearmongering from the government and media, former Scotland Yard detective John O'Connor described the botched attacks as "hopeless," "incompetent" "almost laughable," and amounting to nothing more than a bonfire.
"This was a hopeless, incompetent terrorist attack, I mean when you see the ludicrous situation when none of the bombs were able to be detonated and these guys are then trying to set fire to petrol," O'Connor told CNN.
"This was a hopeless, incompetent terrorist attack, I mean when you see the ludicrous situation when none of the bombs were able to be detonated and these guys are then trying to set fire to petrol," O'Connor told CNN.
"All they got was a bonfire, they set fire to fuel - well that in its own way is not going to detonate the gas cylinders and it's not going to cause an explosion - it was just a fire, I mean that is so incompetent as to be almost laughable."

The media reports what they are told to report. If they are told to report that Paris Hilton is more important that the war, then that's the way it is.

Terrorists try to mass murder innocent people.
Terrorists try to destroy infrastructure.
Terrorists try to destroy military targets AND soft civilian targets.
Terrorists try to terrorize and instill fear.
The London and Glasgow bombers -
... tried to mass murder innocent people.
... tried to destroy infrastructure (airport) and soft civilian targets.
... tried to terrorize and instill fear.
THOSE terrorist attacks. They may have been inept.
But they are still terrorists.

As far as we know so far that's entirely true.

The above was impossible in this case. I am speaking about Glasgow now. It was citizen journalists who did the only reporting for the first several hours because police cordoned off the area which in effect prevented the profestional media from getting on scene.
Now with the above clarified for you, how can you can they are reporting what the government tells them?
