See the difference between the two reports ?

You can always rely on the disgraceful and contemtible publicly funded leftwing BBC to make sure it gets its leftwing bias in the frame.

[Zacs-Master]

BBC says 'warned'. Sky says 'banned'. Other than that.......?

[Fitzer]

The BBC seem to be quoting an ICC spokesman and as such are reporting what was said. Sky however are placing their interpretation on the statement, as such I'd suggest that Sky are not reporting accurately

[Zeuhl]

The only difference i can see is that the BBC include contextual information on what the wristband messages are referring to - just in case there are sports fans who only ever read the back pages.

They've done so in a balanced and objective manner.

That's why MOST people like and respect the BBC and are happy to fund it.

It seems the 'bias' is all yours bazzer

[Canary42]

Like Sky hasn't any vested interests - Murdoch being squeaky clean of course.

[Zacs-Master]

Do enlighten us Baz!

A 'ban' implies a specific ruling in response to formal disciplinary action. The match referee chose not to institute any formal disciplinary proceedings and simply 'had a quiet word' with the player, warning him about his future conduct.

As Fitzer has suggested, the BBC has accurately quoted an ICC spokesman, whereas Sky has changed the wording.

[Gromit]

Not sure what point uou think you are trying to make. Both reports are virtually indentical.
In what way is the BBC one biased and Sky Corps not?

[jno]

"not permitted to wear the wristbands" sounds like a ban to me. But I'm none too sure what baz is on about here; Zeuhl's probably got it right.

[bazwillrun]

oh dear....
never mind for those that that "missed" it the good old BBC kindly added some details at the bottom of their article

" Gaza saw one of its heaviest nights of bombardment on Monday, ......blah blah blah blah"

any chance to show their blatantly biased pro palestine reporting

[jim360]

But then, didn't Gaza see one of the heaviest nights of bombardment on Monday?

[Gromit]

Baz

That isn't bias. - There is no bias.

If ypu are seeing bias that isn't there it probably means you yourself are biased.

The info about Gaza is of course additional information and is there for context. Not everyone may know why Gaza needs saving, so it is there to explain the wristband, not to support either side.

[Peter Pedant]

Those six UN relief workers
are they still dead ?
or was it a biassed mistake ?

[Gromit]

The Sky website has less room to cover the story as fully as the BBC website because space is taken up by advertisements. The BBC has no adverts, so has more room for reporting.

[Orderlimit]

I agree Baz, terrible.

[jomifl]

I expect the ICC is a bit miffed that they aren't getting any fees for the advert, poitical or not. I expect they would be equally miffed if the wrist band said 'buy your next car from Honest Joe's Autos'

[jomifl]

I didn't see any bias but that's 'cos I ain't biased :-)

[Hopkirk]

I tell you who is blatantly biased - Bazwillrun

[Gromit]

Murdoch was brought up in the Jewish faith. A few years back Tony Blair attended a ceremony where Murdoch's child with Ninja Wendi was immersed in the River Jordan accompanied by a grinning Tony Liar.
No surprises that SKY/Fox is pro Israel.

[THECORBYLOON]

BAZWILLRUN, in the interests of fairness to everyone, how about you enlighten us as to the casualty figures for both sides in this conflict? If you show the figures for each day, it will substantiate your biased BBC claim...won't it?
