#2 The BBC's coverage of the Iraqi war was so one-sided that criticism from the BBC is ludicrous. At one point, AS SADDAM"S STATUE WAS COMING DOWN, a singular historical moment, it cut away to another story! It's coverage continually showed the "horrors" of the war, delimiting the Iraqi's liberation from an incredibly horrible regime.

#3 Gawd, I love it when these bloated, self-important, taxpayer-funded elitists at the BBC and NPR get their feathers ruffled and spout off about "impartiality"! It's high time the British and American taxpayers see their monies put elsewhere where they'll do some real good.

#4 I keep asking, and no one can tell me, why a cable station, with (outside GWII) a viewership of less than The Osbournes 1st season (6 mil) gets so many knickers in a twist.

#5 The most telling story about the Baghdad Broadcast Company is that the UK Navy cut it off it's own ships during the war! That's all you need to know abou the BBC!

#6 When our troops soundly trounced a tank division, the BBC headline had the word "victory" in quotes!
