They’re Lucky Orwell’s Dead

What the BBC should ask themselves is why their mistakes ^[1] almost always seem to tilt in the same direction ^[2]? What they also ought to ask themselves is what a liberal really is and… oh, never mind.

UPDATE: Email from Lobstertom in the UK:

If you go to the BBC News front page,

http://news.bbc.co.uk/

and type ‘apologised’ into their search engine, or ‘casualties,’ or
‘Iraq,’ for that matter. You will NOT find the BBC correction about
civilian casualties in Iraq. For that, you must go to the ‘Newswatch’
link, way down at the bottom left of the frontpage…

…so they don’t include their corrections as part of their search
engine? Pretty slick, don‚Äôt you think?
