So your standpoint is that the BBC dislikes/hates the US and so is deliberately inventing/slanting news? You don't like the news, the facts being reported, so they are attirbuted to lies based in hatred? From the BBC?

Yes, ts, the BBC is slanting the news. The BBC has an illustrious reputation from years past, no longer deserved. The BBC slanted the war news from Iraq so badly that HMS Arc Royal turned off the network in disgust, and one of the BBC's own veteran war correspondants complained in public that he was just "gobsmacked" by the awful reporting.

Go back to the SI posts for March and April and look up the BBC. You will see documented instances from myself and others about exactly how & why I thought it was slanted. My impression of the BBC is that they report very well until somebody they don't like enters the picture, on which point they display their dislike even to the point of falsifying the news. Their dislike extends to anybody on the whole right-hand of the political spectrum, including the Blair government, the Conservative Party in the UK, American Republicans and George Bush in particular, and Israeli Likudniks and of course Ariel Sharon.

Do read the history of comments before dismissing this. For an ongoing chronicle of BBC bias, try this blog:
