How do you know they were robbed and raped ?
Some reporters got in by dressing up like local women to hide the
equipment. Their report was very chilling. Unfortunatley, I can't
remember the news orginization for sure. I think it was the Christian
Science Monitor.

Seeing as there's nowt electronically happening, I'll give the Beeb an open
kicking.
Quite true. The Beeb is biased. Not the corrosive and intentional, overt
political or corporate sponsored type bias but the type that Andrew Marr
described as "cultural".
This is understandable, given that the Beeb is majority staffed by a large
clique of highly educated arts graduates, preferably oxbridge and most
usually from wealthy professional, or old money backgrounds.
As such, their world viewpoint tends to be restricted to the limited
perspective of their own class and cultures. "Limited" it is, due to UK
class divisions being uniquely rigid and well enforced.
However, within the constraints of these built-in cultural blinkers, the
Beeb people can occasionally offer up some honest, high quality reporting
and analysis. But ... only with the caveat that all their output be
filtered by the implicit understanding of the nature of the beast.
(Others who may be the unfortunate victims of the Beeb news, may rightly
think otherwise.)
A similar restrictive culture also applies across most of the UK 'quality'
print media and this must also be viewed using the same provisos.
The operation of the cogs and levers are quite subtle and many people in
this country never quite 'get' what's going on but once the basics of the
engine are understood, it's quite easy to predict from topical news and
analysis (or lack of), where the 'bias'', inadequate knowledge and omissions
will be occurring. (i.e. reading-between-the-lines and those not yet written
:)
