Speaking of biased reporting, I listed to the BBC report on Israel this afternoon. First the reporter talked about Israeli incursions into Bethlehem and Beit Jala, then they gave Saeb Erekat about five minutes to fulminate about Israeli "terrorism", then for balance, they interviewed a former US ambassador to Israel who said that there was no military solution, the violence had to stop, the parameters of a negotiated settlement had already been laid out [my response: Earth to State Dept: WHO SAID NO THE LAST TIME?]. No Israeli spokesman was given any airtime.

In short, a typical display of fair and balanced BBC reporting.
