BBC Biased?
According to the BBC, the "anti-war" protests are as popular as ever world-wide....even in the U.S., where "the city of Boston held what observers said was the biggest march since the Vietnam War".
However, somehow they neglected to mention that in London, only 100 protesters showed up or that Prime Minister Blair's popularity rating is the highest it has been in 9 months. Nor did they mention this:
About 4,000 Canadians angered by Prime Minister Jean Chretien's decision not to support a war without United Nations approval marched in front of the Parliament building in Ottawa, waving flags of the U.S. and allies Britain and Australia.
In the United States, up to 12,000 flag-waving war supporters packed the steps of the Pennsylvania Capitol in Harrisburg. A rally in Cape Cod, Mass., supporting U.S. troops drew about 2,000 and in Miami, thousands of Cuban exiles and others marched to support the military and to oppose opening relations with communist Cuba.
Nope, no bias here.
