Note this:
The host, Cuban President Fidel Castro, understood to be recuperating from a gastric illness, did not make a public appearance during the event.
That may be his title but in reality he's a dictator and the BBC knows it.
And the BBC let this go without any comment.
The senior North Korean delegate said that American threats had forced his country to arm itself with nuclear weapons.
Thereby implying it's Bush fault North Korean armed itself with nuclear weapons. What the BBC fails to mention, is that NK armed itself under the Clinton admistration. This despite an non-agression agreement from Cltion in exchange for NK not arming; an agreement they quickly broke. The deal was brokered by former President Carter and contained no verification clause.
But if the BBC reported that, their buddies, the Democrats and Communists, would look bad instead of Bush. And heavens knows the BBC musn't do that.
Now, compare the BBC report to this Reuters report which is surprisingly more balanced.
HAVANA (Reuters) - Washington's biggest enemies, from communist Cuba to North Korea, called on developing nations on Saturday to challenge U.S. dominance through a revived Non-Aligned Movement labeled a Cold War relic by critics.
More than 50 heads of state and leaders from over 100 Third World countries, among them Iran and Venezuela, rejected U.S. use of the "axis of evil" label and supported Tehran's right to nuclear technology for peaceful use.
None of that is in the BBC report. Neither is this:
But governments with friendly ties to Washington, among them India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Chile, Peru and Colombia, sought to steer the summit way from confrontation and finger-pointing at the United States.
"I don't regard this summit as anti-U.S., or for that matter anti-anybody," Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi told a news conference.
For the BBC to report both sides of the story would undermine their anti-American agenda. And that comes above the truth at all costs.
