That's very true, Davros, and I phrased my original response to reflect that aspect of "relativism", but I apparantly hit the wrong button and that post was deleted instead of posted.

But does the BBC really want to justify their non-neutrality by comparing themselves to Faux News??? Or should they maintain their integrity and compare their current reporting style to their past reputation? [/QUOTE]I quote: Another report by Media Tenor, the German-based media research organisation, examined the Iraq reporting of some of the world's leading broadcasters in the lead up to the war.

The worst case of denying access to anti-war voices was the BBC, which gave just two per cent of its coverage to opposition views - views that represented those of the majority of the British people.
