"editing" the News (propaganda?) 16 Years, 3 Months ago  
Interesting. Just check both Sky News and BBC News websites, and the story that leads the BBC TV News (Coroner condemns MoD) is lead story on BBC website - but does not appear at all on the Sky News website (18.27pm).

Sky is normally quite fast at uploading stories but I've noticed previously that anything that does not show the Army in good light is "played down" or undewr reported.

The people who did so much to "sell" wars a little embarrassed now that it has all gone wrong?

Sky-still owned by Murdoch who personally sold the war to the US population ?

I remember an interview with Rupert Murdoch on radio about 6 months into the Iraq ( illegal) invasion where he claimed in a jolly manner that the war was going "swimmingly" and that he expected the oil price to be halved per barrel by the end of the year.

He isn't always the genius he's claimed to be.

I read a recent report that he paid the Chinese government a deposit of a billion dollars on the chance of getting the rights to cable tv there. They haven't decided yet and have told him the money is non-refundable. When he bought Star TV in Asia he paid a fortune thinking there were tens of millions of subscribers not realising that throughout Asia one villager signs up and feeds the cable free throughout the village.
