> Simply not true, look at the coverage for the Johnny Depp libel trial

Are the legal and practical issues on a civil trial like that really identical to a criminal trial or criminal extradition?

They are not identical but do not preclude extensive reporting as is demonstrated by Craig Murray who single-handed has put the BBC to shame

The post above was in response to a post that claimed the BBC tends not to post regarding a “trial”, and showed a counter-example. Shows that it is not as simple as the original poster suggests but not very clear exactly what criteria the BBC are using.
