I've watched BBC coverage of events right alongside the coverage of US networks. The footage is generally similar, the reporting of events can vary greatly, pariticularly in situations of a political nature. (This is also true from one US network to another.) What each network reports is generally factual, but the facts that they choose to present are shaped by their philosophical and political predispositions. That will be my only comment. To discuss this in more detail on-list could get us into dangerous waters.
