The Beeb Fights Back
From today's Studio Briefing:

 
BBC HEAD OUTRAGED BY FOX NEWS COMMENTS
BBC Television News director Roger Mosey has lashed out at comments made on Fox News Channel and on the Fox News website accusing the BBC of portraying Arab terrorists sympathetically. In a statement today (Wednesday) Mosey referred to an unnamed Fox "contributor" who said after the London bombings that "the BBC almost operates as a foreign registered agent of Hezbollah and some of the other jihadist groups." Mosey also referred to an opinion piece posted on the Fox website titled, "How Jane Fonda and the BBC put you in danger." Said Mosey: "I am writing this in a building which was bombed by Irish terrorists. My colleagues and I are living in a city recovering from the wounds inflicted last week. If I may leave our customary impartiality aside for a moment, the comments made on Fox News are beneath contempt."
