Anyone waiting with bated breath for a BBC retraction or correction of announcer Lyse Ducett's horrendous hundredfold magnification of Lebanese dead in last summer's conflcit between Hizbollah and Israel ("100,000 , mostly civilians" as she astutely emphasized) in yesterday's (Aug. 14) 8:00 EST transmission of BBC-America would be dead by now. No retraction, No correction, No apology from the news gathering agency that continues to boast it is the most accurate in the world.
Anyone who still has a warm glowing positive recollection of the BBC from World War II's memories of the blitz and the noble RAF should remain locked in their time machine with the dial permanently set at 1939-45.
