The BBC commentators distance themselves from both Iraqi and US claims 'distance' is okay, no quarrel with that. But to distance yourself equally from American and Iraqi sources, as if both had remotely comparable track records of credibility, is just ludicrous. And the Beeb does more than its fair share of that.

> US television, even ABC which I've watch mostly, look to be largely cheerleading. This is so true that even some within the US media have started to criticize it. CNN's web site has lost a lot readers to UK's Gaurdian. I know that most people here have to rely on English news. So if you have a dish and can get the English programs from Asia and continental Europe, you should not miss the opportunity. If nothing else, they provide an alternate perspective. ST PS Asia Times' web site has some good articles.
