I'm no fan of the Beeb, but I should point out that on my way to work today (that would have been around 10:00 EST) I heard a BBC World Service piece on Bush's visit to Korea and the protests/counter-protests. I was surprised when much more time was given to descriptions of the pro-US demo than the anti-US one, including two interviews with participants. The surprise I felt of course underlines how much one assumes that the BBC - like other large western media companies - will let their bias colour their coverage, but this was a rather pleasant exemption. Perhaps the Korea/SE-Asia bureau is less rabidly anti-American than the western ones?

Lately, the British media generally seem less hard on Bush -- and less enthusiastic about Obama -- than their American counterparts for some reason.
