Sullivan is right:

These guys make the New York Times look objective.

Just one more reason why the state has no business in the broadcasting business - unless it's VOA-type endeavours.

Perhaps Mr. Blair will start to consider the virtues of privatizing the British broadcast spectrum.

The BBC is absolute rubbish these days. I NEVER watch them.

In the late 1930's the BBC BANNED Winston Churchill, who had before that time offered commentaries....the reason they banned him?....Because they felt he was saying things about Germany that were inflamatory and his WORDS were a threat to peace......

Wouldn't help much. Dirty little secret: most of Britain is owned by Arab interests anyway...

BAGHDAD BROADCASTING CORPORATION: About that caption on a recent BBC piece - "the educated are mainly anti-war" - several readers have pointed out that the poll they relied on had no data on educational level at all. They just made that up to comport with their anti-American condescension. But the polls that do measure such things show nothing of the kind. Here's how one reader put it:

Take a look at the actual Pew poll results, available as a PDF download here (click on the link "U.S. Needs More International Backing poll" -- note the bias inherent in that title as well): If you scroll down to page six in the Acrobat document, you will see a breakdown of war support by various demographic classifications, including by education. The following numbers represent the percent who support military action: college degree, 58 percent; some college, 71 percent; high school degree or less, 71 percent. Only 33% of people with a college education oppose military action (opposition drops to 25% of less at lower levels of education). While the numbers do show that support for the war drops somewhat at higher education levels, they remain predominantly pro-war, and certainly do not support a contention that "the educated are mainly anti-war." Indeed, even if you accept the presumption that only those with a college degree are "educated," a very solid majority (58 percent) of this enlightened group support war with Iraq!

The BBC lefties don't only spin, they lie!

BBC and AP - biggest international news providers....and the left has the gall to ask "why do they hate us?"

They have to be carefully taught.
