Murdoch: Blair says 'gloating' BBC hurricane coverage 'full of hate for America.'
According to publisher Rupert Murdoch- owner of BBC rival Sky News- British Prime Minister Tony Blair has described himself as "shocked" by the BBC's coverage of Hurricane Katrina, which he described as "full of hate for America."
Murdoch sees European news media generally as suffering from an anti-American bias, which he believes that his organization needs to help counteract.
Interestingly, Bill Clinton- of all people!- agrees that the BBC coverage of the disaster, while factually accurate, was "stacked up" in such a way as to put the Bush administration in the worst possible light.
Hat tip: Drudge.
