Interestingly the Unaoil scandal wasn't even reported by the BBC (except a brief mention on their World Service). I'm interested to know exactly why this scandal on the other hand is being covered so heavily by them and other outlets.

I'm sure if you google it there'll be blurb on their website. But Chomsky points out that appearing impartial is part of the media manipulation.
They'll print the juicier bits, but buried deep were few except geeks and junkies like me will read it.
Another two techniques that infuriate me:
1. Editing published articles after they are published and making the original unavailable. (Editing should look like word's auto-track feature: in bright red)
2. Not following up on a story after you launched salvos into a person/ideas truth worthiness and they are vindicated
