UK far right trouble July/August 24

The Al Qaeda manual has been reported in several other news outlets. Even the state media/BBC reported it. But I think the lesson from this is take everything the state media says with a massive dose of scepticism given the number of cover-ups and misinformation.

It’s a US government document that includes those words in the title.

It wasn’t an Al Qaeda manual. It was a US government document about Al Qaeda.

Thanks for the clarification. The BBC described the document as 'a military study of an Al-Qaeda training manual.'
I edited one of my tweets to take account of that. But then I found that Sky were calling it an Al-Qaeda manual. So I changed it back again.

Ahhh so now the information is accurate because it suits your narrative.
Perhaps its misinformation?

It’s a University of Georgia (USA not former USSR) web page with a title and a link to download it.

The original reports weren’t entirely inaccurate but they didn’t tell the whole story. Later reports clarified it.
It happens.

They will just parrot whatever the BBC tells them. 20 hours ago the BBC were reporting it as an Al Qaeda manual. In 20 hours time, they'll say whatever the BBC tells them it is. Same process with Russia Today or Chinese state media.

But the question is, how do you know what's correct? Are you just parroting whatever version the BBC tells you is correct or do you actually know which media outlets are right and which are wrong? The BBC have come up with multiple stories about the manual already.
