    That's quite possibly true, but it's all the more reason to make sure that the brush stays in its tar pot.

    Interestingly enough the guy has posted a follow up to his previous piece:

    i do believe that the bbc were at fault in certain aspect of its reporting, but this idiot is guilty of the exact same faults.

    He is in no way impartial in reporting this (as the news should be), and he clearly expresses his opinion that the brits are totally inferior to americans while we ourselves believe that we are superior.

    Perhaps his next story could be on how the americans and the british government "exagerated" (lied) about sadams nuclear weapons programmes, and WMD.

    Mr Gibson

    I hear Fox News is the very height of impartiality. Direct lines to Republican HQ, direct orders to skew the news and LIE to the public as BOTH your pieces have done (don't try to deny it, there's plenty of recorded BBC news to refute the 100% false claims you make), why Fox is the very height of "Fair & Balanced(TM)" news.

    I'm sure the "flag in your lapel" gives you the God-given right to lie through your crooked smile, so by all means continue.

    I personally prefer the UK Channel 4 news to the BBC news, but that doesn't mean you should completely misreport the facts in order to further your and Murdoch's political gains.

    Remember that no civilised person thinks of Fox News as News, they KNOW of it as fiction. And it's thanks to PUBLIC LIARS such as youiself that this perception is the norm.

    Bravo.

    for reference, the geneva convention, which the USA has not signed, hence the war in iraq was not illegal for them (was for us though)

    As it 'appens, generally speaking, I like Americans. Most all I've met have been good people, except for this idiot from Arkansas I once had to work with.

    And I like a lot of things about the USA.

    But after viewing this fat git spout off lies about possibly the best news service in the World, if I want to label all Americans fools and liars, then I will I know it's wrong, I know it's stupid, but it is my right and it makes me feel better
