More BBC Bias

What the BBC meant to say...

And I thought the BBC were getting better on there coverage of the war, not so. I've just heard the latest from Radio One's newsbeat.
They were reporting less than 150 losses in the fighting, and re-reporting the celebrating in Baghdad. Well they weren't exactly going to tell us the truth and report "over 1500 civilian casualties, only the press and members of the Iraqi Freedom Force celebrated, and no weapons of mass destruction have been found."
Even if people were celebrating and cheering, does it make it right? People cheered Hitler didn't they?

Tonight's 6pm BBC TV news unbelievable propag

BBC news this evening was sickening - glossing over the lack of water and the casualties. I watched ITN immediately after and it was like they were talking about a different world - ie more information on ITN and less bias

It was reported on BBC News 24 that there was a lack of water in Basra - Ragegh Omar filed a full report on it - this lead to the government and military claiming the BBC was portraying an anti-war bias. Sighs.

The job of reporting anything is to report both sides of a story - not something I've noticed on Indymedia.
