Good backgrounder on the BBC's institutional bias and Gilligan's slanted reporting here

Do you all believe that Kelly committed suicide??

There's a scatter effect when someone like this crud gets captured. I'm sure we have a few more cruds in our sight from the BBC "leak".

I posted this link on another Beeb thread, but in case you missed it I'll put it here, too. Apparently a reporter for the Beeb is suing Newsweek for reporting that the Beeb's story on missile man ruined an FBI investigation. The reporter for the Beeb is even using a US atty's statement to support his suit.

I should think the FBI should be tracking down the source of their leak to the BBC.

When I heard about this bust, I thought, 1) "Thank God they got him," and then 2) "Only one? Not a network?" Now, I know why only one man was arrested. Good ol' BBC-- pray for the demise of the BBC and the NYTimes. It will be good for truth.

Keep these plans to yourself. Someone might mistake you for a conservative instead of a nut job.

The first I heard of the bust was a BBC report broadcast on NPR. It was dripping with sarcasm, and immediately got onto questions of whether it was a setup.

Disband the BBC.

Agree. My reaction was, who leaked to the BBC. Second reaction was to curse the BBC, but who's to say Peter Jennings or Bob Woodward wouldn't have done the same if it had been leaked to them.

Exactly. Both are at fault, but the source of the leak is a bigger issue AFAIAC.

According to Batchelor & Alexander show last night, leak came from Brit intelligence, MI-5 or MI-6.
