have started to refer to the "protesters" and "fighters for democracy" as "rebels". This entire extraordinary episode involving the SAS and diplomats (on a peaceful mission - with machine guns and grenades) is bizarre. The media support for "the better story" (battle for freedom) is wilting. It is becoming difficult for the media to ignore the massive support for Gadaffi, however appalling he may be. Oh dear, simple slogans don't appear to be working anymore.

The media is muddled poor souls.

they have to keep shifting the goal posts to keep the story alive.

Let's face it..the drama is becoming increasingly boring for the avergae punter and Jordon's tits are hovering ready to fill the vacuum.
