I've quit watching TV for ages. But oddly, i'm hooked on their coverage for the past 48 hrs, via the live webcast.
It reminds me of the good old BBC (before i found out they practiced censorship)

Just watching now I heard "he can't confirm this yet, but this is what we heard" which is something so very rare to hear these days. The American media will often report even the vaguest rumors without the necessary caveats. Fox will even run questions along the bottom "outrageous thing is true?"

However, these are simply the BBC's own internal guidelines which complement the legal codes of "due impartiality" which apply to all television in the united kingdom

Observers sometimes construe this as state censorship. In fact it is only applied in response to mass citizen complaint against blatantly objectionable programming, and in to my memory works more often against the government than in their favor.
