The Beeb - BBC - is as credible as it gets. Same with the Washington Post, New York Times, NPR, LA Times. If they make a mistake, it's rare, and they admit it, and try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Same with the UN. If UN observers said something happened, they are as credible as it gets.

I recognize that there is a spin on the news, but distinguish that from accurate reporting of facts.

Far more credible than Sharon and Arafat, neither of whom I'd believe if they told me the sun rises in the east.

Lawyers are used to listening to spin. I just do my best to winnow it out. I get as many versions of the same facts as I can and then use a process I call "triangulation." Physical evidence is usually the most reliable.
