Crying over Arafat
Would you cry over the impending death of Yassir Arafat? This BBC reporter evidently did:
Barbara Plett, BBC's Middle East correspondent, reported on a BBC Radio 4 program last Saturday her impressions of the sickly Arafat's departure. "When the helicopter carrying the frail old man rose above his ruined compound, I started to cry," she said.They don't call it the "Biased Broadcasting Corporation" for nothing.
Their reporting got so bad during the 2003 invasion of Iraq the the crew of a British warship, the HMS Ark Royal demanded that BBC broadcasts be turned off.
