The BBC is biased

Sometimes reading Biased BBC you wonder whether they will one day complain that the button for BBC 1 is to be found on the left of the remote control, and for BBC 2 in the 'wishy-washy' centre.

It's been a long time since I checked out the site, so for readers who can't be bothered I'll give you a pretty typical excerpt that I found most amusing.

(October 27th)

"Here is the BBC approach at 8.40 UK time:

'Bombs rock central Baghdad'

'At least 18 people are reported killed as the Red Cross headquarters and other buildings come under attack.'

Here is the CNN at the same time:

'Explosions rock Baghdad'

'At least 10 people have been killed and several injured following three explosions in the space of an hour in the Iraqi capital.
The first blast, believed caused by a suicide car bomb, struck early in the morning outside the Red Cross headquarters in the city leaving several vehicles ablaze and huge plumes of smoke rising into the air.'

Can anyone apart from me see hysteria in the one and sanity in the other[?]..."
