More are losing respect for BBC war coverage
The liberal Independant reports:
"The public considered BBC television coverage of the Iraq war less objective than that of its commercial rivals, a watchdog revealed yesterday.
"The Independent Television Commission reported that both BBC1 and BBC2 were judged to be less 'fair' in their coverage than Channel 4, Five, Sky News and ITV. The findings were released while the BBC is bracing itself for Lord Hutton's report into the death of Dr David Kelly, which is expected to criticise the corporation's journalistic standards.
"The ITC findings suggest that the traditional public respect for the objectivity of BBC journalism is on the wane.
