Who Demagogued David Kelly?
The BBC and the British government have been engergetically blaming each other for the suicide of WMD scientist David Kelly, and one opinion poll indicates the Beeb is getting a slight edge in public opinion: About twice as many respondents say they trust the BBC more on the issue of weapons of mass destruction, and 54 percent trust the BBC more than the government overall.
Make your own decisions on biases: The poll is reported by Robert Fisk employer The Independent, and in classic shitty British journalism style, the story identifies the polling organization only by an acronym that means nothing to me. (Am I the only one who feels every time I read an article in a UK paper that I just walked in on the middle of a conversation?)
