The BBC’s reputation for truth is somewhere down there in the cow pie with the NYSlimes.

The BBC has a world-wide reputation for integrity and truth-telling. No not really, at least not outside of the liberal echo chamber.

Not to defend the BBC, but at least they apologized and did so quickly. Contrast that with how CBS handled the fake Guard documents. It would seem the Brits don’t have it quite as bad as us when it comes to the media. But perhaps it being the Queen and all, they had little choice in the matter, but to come clean.

Then you are probably unaware that one Royal Navy Ship's crew, while on duty in the Middle East, BANNED the showing on board of the BBC news coverage of Iraq because of the blatant bias.

Still, I'm never comfortable by the media's ever present ability to lie and present a facade of reality. These folks have too much power. I don't have an alternative to the current situation, and I sure wouldn't leave to government to regulate it. Vigilance is the only answer...eternal vigilance...

Yeah I realize this incident is a small glimpse of the bigger picture. We’re probably equally screwed when it comes to the media.
To: neverdem
Business as usual at the BBC. They distorts facts/slants news/and lies all the time...in matters of great substance. Why should the queen expect to be treated differently?
