maybe in times of war some reports are designed and waver towards propaganda.. but I don't believe that most news on the BBC is manipulated..the BBC is still respected as a good source for reasoned and accurate news.. but to stick in news about about sportsmen as the main item is not on.. even if it my be of most interest to the "other people" that ride standard class on the trains :rolleyes:
