America - BBC: Cox sucks

A new American blogger living in Britain has decided enough is enough and is taking on the British media over their spin and bias.

Take this post about how "the BBC disapproves of Bush's new nominee to head the SEC."

Note the constant use of the passive tense. The SEC "is expected to..." Expected by who? The BBC doesn't say. Doubts have been raised. Who has these doubts? The BBC doesn't say. Mr. Cox is "seen as" close to the finance industry. Seen by who? The BBC doesn't say. Even when the passive voice is abandoned, the actors are vague and unknown. Anonymous "experts" say this and "some commentators" say that. Hell, search the internet long enough and you can find "some commentator" saying virtually anything.


No need to search the internet Scott. The BBC commentators will and do say virtually anything - especially anything anti-American. Just check out my Case Against the BBC.
