<p>that seems to be working for her in TX</p>
<p>Let’s try that again. The first three show no footage of the weapons caches. The second one shows no locations. The Seabees article discovers no weapons caches at all. The last one takes place in Karbalah and shows no footage. The YouTube shows no location. </p>
<p>Thanks for making my point for me. The tens of millions of dollars in military hardware that General Betrayus relayed (perhaps inadvertently, though it is unproven) to Al-Qaeda killed hundreds of American servicemen, and to date, have never been recovered or accounted for.</p>
<p>And Bullet, none of those are “mainsteam” media. CNN, MSNBC, BBC, etc.</p>
<p>Those stations wouldn’t show the good stuff because it’d make them look bad.</p>
<p>hops_scout: I sincerely doubt the media would execute a coverup or large-scale omission just to not “look bad”.</p>
<p>But even if the American media were prone to that, the BBC is British - and widely lauded for its excellent journalistic practices.</p>

<p>Telegraph.co.uk: [BBC</a> viewers angered by its ‘innate liberal bias’](<a href=“http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/19/nbbc119.xml]BBC”>http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/06/19/nbbc119.xml):</p>

<p>…uh huh. Did you really read through that whole thing critically?</p>
<p>The words “left-leaning comfort zone” never appear in the actual BBC report, and the “innate liberal bias” accusation was leveled not by any of the authors of that report, but rather by a former political editor… that may strike you as credible or not, but it’s misrepresented in the article. Furthermore, on my reading of the conclusions section, never once did the BBC report say they were too biased; they merely said they needed to keep their vigilance high, more or less.</p>
<p>Furthermore, accusations of bias made included things like the fact that the BBC neglected to mention that arrested terrorists were Asian, that 3D weather maps were positioned in a way that northern Scotland seemed smaller than it is, the fact that the BBC gives weather reports for conurbations instead of rural areas… are you finding these serious and telling accusations?</p>
<p>Overall, there were a grand total of 3 criticisms of specific reporting, 1 criticism that the BBC hired too many young people, minorities and gay people, 2 angry former employees complaining, and 1 (yes, only one) viewer complaining that the BBC didn’t specify that terrorist suspects were Asians. That’s such horrible bias. Not. Meanwhile, buried in the article was the fact that the majority of viewers in surveys considered the BBC impartial.</p>
<p>More telling, I think, is the fact that a notably Conservative British newspaper (61% of the readership support the Conservative party, which is sizable) is writing such a flaky article about another news outfit… and the BBC is biased?</p>
<p>Nice try with the fishing there, try again.</p>

<p>Which is in what way an exclusive tendency of the BBC? From experience of growing up in Canada, I can tell you that non-US media are almost uniformly biased in some way against America - it’s a natural tendency, in the same way that most American media are biased TOWARDS America. How often do you hear American media directly criticizing deeply held American beliefs? Not much. How much do you hear them criticizing other countries’ deeply held, perhaps controversial beliefs? More often. This isn’t BBC bias, this is everyone-bias.</p>
<p>Again, still waiting for some substantive criticism of the BBC…</p>
<p>Come on now StitchinTime, just bow down. 1of42 is always right. 
</p>
<p>everyone-bias is still bias, dude. doesn’t mean that the BBC is inherently more evil than other media outlets, just that it will report news in a certain way.</p>
<p>Yes. But it’s inane. Every media organization associated with a country is biased towards its own country and against others. That’s true of every US broadcaster, every British broadcaster, and so on.</p>
<p>hops_scout: Be sarcastic all you want, you have yet to even come close to providing any evidence to back up your statement that the BBC is liberal biased or to prove your further statement that they would omit reporting certain things to avoid embarrassment.</p>
<p>How is it liberal or conservative to be anti-American? There are plenty of governments that don’t like America that run the gamut from the left to the right.</p>
<p>1of42 - you’re terrific. Princeton made a great choice.</p>
<p>Why thank you.</p>
