What about this, Paul?
Today's latest in the BBC's endless drive to provide Cindy Sheehan with the publicity she seeks contains this remarkable claim:
Conservative militants. Cindy Sheehan is an "anti-war protestor", but those who would protest against her are "conservative militants". Unbelievable.
Paul Reynolds would, no doubt, dismiss this as just another individual instance of poor reporting, totally unconnected to the corporate culture which is fostered at the BBC. Yet, isn't it strange that such instances of poor reporting always...always...end up with the same constituencies being placed in a negative light and not their opposites; conservatives, Republicans, Israelis, religious Americans, etc?
BTW, this is such an egregious example that I expect some embarrassed adult at the BBC will stealthily edit it out at some point without ever acknowledging that it was published in the first place. Watch for it.
Her arguments against the war have sparked a heated controversy, and conservative militants from California are on their way to Crawford to launch a tour called "You don't speak for me, Cindy!".

Did they also claim the 'conservative militants' (a term that could be applied to Hamas actually...) were from California to imply they were from a nutty state after all Arnuld is their Governator etc!
The anti Sheenan protestors are actually coming from all over the USA - due to arrive tomorrow - wonder if Sheenan will duck away again?
So they use the same term for the head-choppers of Iraq as they do for conservative opponents of "Mother Sheehan".
What Bias?
