don't see the BBC as quite the bugaboo you appear to (from reading not just the last post, but many of your posts on the subject). But I agree that Arafat could blow this thing up. We'll see whether he does or not.


I've been watching the BBC for a long time now. They have a well established MO. Here's a suggestion to pick up on the technique: notice what is reported in the active voice (X kills Y), and what is reported in the passive voice, as if there was no actor (Violence happens in area X). Both the BBC and Reuters have a habit of reporting all Israeli violence in the active voice, and most Palestinian violence in the passive voice, as if it were a natural force.

And don't even get me started on their selective choice of stories.
