This is funny - reading the title of this post, I thought perhaps it was being sarcastic. A few hours ago a number of tweets appeared in my stream criticising the BBC for being slow on the uptake WRT Libya. Maybe they've caught up by now.

For Example: "BBC correspondent: "Rumours that rebels are advancing into Tripoli". Sky correspondent: sitting in truck with rebels advancing into Tripoli." https://twitter.com/#!/Mr_Eugenides/status/10538684278598041...

and

"Alex Crawford (female) is fab for Sky News in Tripoli while BBC guy is stuck in Gaddaffi surrounded hotel. BBC coverage is shambolic. Why?" https://twitter.com/#!/LesleyRiddoch/status/1055547826426511...

(Sky is the main non-state-funded News channel in the UK).
