And here's the same story on the ITV News website homepage:
The BBC News website homepage, however, goes with a very different angle on the story:

Update: Come to think of it, promoting the Swedish justice and migration minister's criticisms of the British government to third place in the BBC's running order, news-wise (as it was when I screen-grabbed the above), is quite extraordinary, isn't it? Or at least highly questionable?
Plus, note the accompanying articles. Just as telling, I think, of where the BBC is coming from over this.
So the same angle on the News Channel, the BBC News website, and two different Radio 4 current affairs shows. Agenda? What agenda?
ReplyDeleteAgain the power of the editorial integrity filter revealed in all its crooked glory.
