Whilst i agree with all said in this thread, i've just sat watching the BBC 10 o'clock news tonight and i think by running the item of Dannat's latest concerns as the main headline, along with the follow up report following the Wokka crews in Helmand, they have done wonders (intentionally or not) in bringing the views of the General to the front of the nation's thoughts. They even made an effort to name the 2 guys who lost their lives this week. All the reporting was fairly balanced towards the General and there wasn't a hint of typical BBC bleeding hearts and propaganda.
For once, i have to give them some credit for that, it's how reporting should be done in my opinion. As i flicked over to the 'comicbook' Sky to see what they were saying on the matter, well, they were already covering the trials and tribulations of Jose Mourinho by 2207.
