According to popbitch-
Chris Morris. Role model for news and comedy shows on TV. He has a brilliant new show idea. The Brass Eye provocateur has written a comedy about a Jihadi wannabe suicide bomber cell in the North of England. It’s funny and topical. The perfect TV show? Well, maybe to you and me. To the BBC and C4, the channels we hear he offered it to, it’s not. They’ve said no to it. Possibly too scared at the subject content? Did you see the recent “Airline Plot” terror trial? The jury didn’t convict but on the same day, the BBC thought it was appropriate to use their news programmes to attack that jury, and put out a Panorama show called “The Airline Plot” – when a jury had decided that no such plot existed. And Morris can’t get his show commissioned!
Also, Septicisle @ Obsolete has lots about the trial, with both the BBC and the establishment closing ranks to ‘catapult the propaganda‘ 1, 2, 3, & 4.
