Reuters campaign against Tamils

Reuters carried the following follow up report on yesterday's bomb attack in Colombo:

These are the worthy southern victims for the reuters to be reported extensively.

Tamilnet carried the following follow-up report on the claymore bomb attack in Kilinochchi. These northern victims were unworthy lives for Reuters - so no reports on them.

Both attacks are brutal and should be condemned. It should also be noted that the bomb attack in the south gives an impression of a revenge attack for the civilian killing in the claymore attack in the north.

Having blacked out the first massacre (in the north), Reuters then goes on to paint a picture that the attack in the South is due to the so called "military setbacks" in the North and not likely to be a revenge attack for targeting the civilians in the north. In fact for Reuters northern attack did not happen at all right?

Both are targeted killing of the civilians and people should be sick of those people behind these acts. They should be even more sick of those people who discriminate between worthy and unworthy victims.

Thanks a lot Reuters for your neutrality in reporting the conflict. Keep it up follow your agenda and don't file any report on the unworthy (northern) victims!
