'So called' disclaimer is on almost every BBC article. But it is media like BBC who spread this name in first place.
Compare IS with 'Kurdistan'. It is a 'state' somehow similar to IS, but it gets completely different treatment.

- gaius 11y agoIn the Falklands war, the BBC broadcast that the Argentine air force were setting their bomb fuses wrong and their bombs weren't exploding when they hit British ships, and also pre-announced the attack on Goose Green. They're well known for playing both sides against the middle.
- arethuza 11y agoI have read that the Goose Green incident was actually caused by a MoD official releasing something too early - they were just passing on the message. The thing about the bomb fuses was a horrendous mistake “six better fuses and we would have lost” - particularly as there was nothing wrong with the fuses and the Argentinians could have easily fixed this by a simple adjustment.
