Default BBC disinformation yet again 752202

In a scandal that should lead to the sacking of the entire BBC News Editoral staff, figures released from the New Orleans state coroner reveal that the MAJORITY of deaths in the Hurricane Katrina were (on a per capita basis) white people, and that in terms of percentage the numbers of blacks who died in the disaster are statistically less than they should be. It was in the news for weeks after the Hurricane Katrina that the impact of the storm was racist against blacks and that the US government were racist in the way they responsed to the storm.

This has been proved true, but not in the way the BBC lied to the public. It now appears that whilst blacks were being rescued by fellow black police officers, the elderly white residents of New Orleans were left to die in disproportionate numbers in their homes in the aftermath of the storm.

The BBC spent weeks lying to British television viewers that whites were being rescued and blacks were being left die and that 'racism' was responsible for this 'crime' against the black residents of New Orleans.
Now the truth is out.

Mortuary figures

Preliminary figures compiled by the mortuary in St. Gabriel, Louisiana, which is the primary facility handling the bodies of Katrina deceased, show that a majority of the dead in New Orleans and surrounding parishes were actually not black.

Of the 883 bodies processed so far by medical examiners at St. Gabriel, 562 have been identified by race. Slightly less than half that number - 48%- are African-American, 41% are white, 8% unknown and 2%Hispanic.

The surprisingly low death rate for black Katrina victims comes despite the fact that New Orleans itself was more than two-thirds black [67%] when the storm hit. White residents made up less than a third [28%] of the city's population, according to U.S. Census bureau numbers.

The two hardest hit areas were Orleans parish, which is the city itself - with 720 people killed by Katrina - and St. Bernard parish, with 123 dead.

St. Bernard parish is 88% white, but the total population before the storm was just 65,554 people. The city of New Orleans, on the other hand, had 484,674 people before the storm, 67% of whom were black.

The two populations combined were still over 60% black - twelve points higher than the percentage of black residents killed by Katrina.

BBC fabrications

This shows that the BBC lied in its news reports. The BNP, representing millions of viewers now demands an immediate BBC investigation into this story and the dismissal of those BBC employees who lied to the British public without any evidence on which to base their news stories.

The BBC is a 'Weapon of Mass Deception' and part of the government's propaganda arsenal.

It's time the BBC was called to account, forced to only report the facts of the news objectively and not be allowed to manufacture the news for their own political reasons.

We have witnessed their selective reporting for decades now, about time this government propaganda machine was dismantled.

I read today of the millions of pounds the corporation has paid to its employees in Bonus' out of our forced contributions. It is about time we called time on this farce.

I think you'll find "misinformation" is the word you meant. Disinformation means something slightly different.
