That's why I've avoided Twitter the last few days. Stephen Send a noteboard - 22/08/2011 01:39:47 PM
1. CNN continues to refer to pro-Gaddafi fighters as "government forces" when in fact it is clear that there is only one government left in Libya, and that is the NTC out of Benghazi. What they call "the government" is really nothing more than the Gaddafi spokesman's rantings, backed by a few thugs who haven't been killed or captured.


UK and Irish media seem slightly better in this regard.
