Bias and Dishonesty are Bedfellows. That's part of the problem with the media today, and in particular the BBC. Earlier in this blog I pointed to the Daily Ablution's pursuance of the BBC over a dodgy [specifically, rigged against the US] poll. It seems that Scott wasn't the only one on the case of the BBC over the bizarre terms under which the poll was presented to the public. Michael Morris of The American Thinker (a new arrival on my blogroll, btw) wrote in several times to protest as well, but

'When “The American Thinker” emailed Jeremy Nye (twice) and explained in clear unambiguous language why the poll was rigged, he completely ignored our request for a copy of the original poll questionnaire, in order to ascertain if the methodology involved had been scientific and impartial.

Read what Michael thinks about it all, here. Meanwhile, even while backtracking on their poll, the BBC have behaved in a sneaky manner. Scott and the helpful PJF have still been watching, and they've noticed some more of the BBC's famously stealthy editing.
