Country:  | The BBC has nothing to do with that, its the Lebanese and Syrian networks that are in full support of the Hezbollah, I think the BBC is showing that they are against war period, but the last people they would be supporting is the Hezbollah

I'm talking scary biased, propaganda level stuff. Normally they at least give a shot at showing the other side (here in the States even if it is a straw dog) but no such luck with the BBC. Israel was wrong, end of story. | I was watching CNN and they had this international head guy from whereever who was in charge of providing Lebanon with a international food relief. He was walking around the cities saying how Israel is wrong and their attacks are way out of proportion and they should be stopped. blah blah blah
I say to him is this....let him take the place of those two captured Israel soldiers and see what he thinks then. See if he is so against Israel then, when they want to chop off his head. Dumb analbutter boy. Another example of the news reporting when, where, who, but not why.

Country:  | ITN News is the best there is. It just tells you the news, that's it. No slant, no bias, no mentioned of who's at fault, it's just the news.

Hus, I'd heard that BBC was so out of it that the RN doesn't even show it on their ships anymore. Not sure if it true or not, but it would be something if it were.
Not sure who's point it proves if it is. | |

Seem to remember that being something common back about 20-25 years ago (then again, it could just be the glow of years past). Now it seems everyone wants to put a slant on it. POV (Point of View) I think they call it in the film world. | |

ITN gave it a good report. The BBC gave such an obvious pro-Libya slant, I damn near threw up. It ended up causing a lot of trouble for us then.

The only ones I like better than BBC's are the History Channels.

Country:  | Israelis with all their high tech equipment bomb a UN outpost in Lebanon kolling 4. I am quite positive it was a known location to both sides and its not like they have a huge area to surveil with all the UAVs and recce skills they are supposed to have it was nothing more then an outright attack on a known UN position it's typical Israeli flaunting of the norms of warfare by a Mickey Mouse country but lets see if CNN or FOX mention UN observers killed when Israeli bomb hits post
