You are having a laugh arent you. I was flicking between both BBC and Sky as I always do in these type of live situations ( last one being Jackos death) and they are always like an hour behind what is happening. Prime example was at 2ish this morning Sky reported that their sources say he was dead on arrival the BBC were still reporting for over an hour that he was alive and well and suffering a gunshot wound. The same happened last year with Jackos death.

Sky "We can confirm that it is Michael Jackson in the ambulance and that he is dead"

For the next 40 minutes

BBC "We are unsure as to whether it is Michael in the ambulance onthe wayto hospital, it may be one of his aides and they are working on him as we speak"

At 3am this morning BBC News24 then went onto pre recorded news until 6 this morning leaving the ticker updating by some muppet in the office feeding of the AP/PA and Reuters feeds. Hardly what some pay their TV licence for and although they are still broadcasting News 24/7 it is hardly live news. !!!! biased reports too.

The reason for this is that the bbc do not ( and I dont think can) run with unsubstantiated rumours. Facts need to either be confirmed or strongly sourced before being reported. Sky will broadcast anything.

This means they can also often be very wrong; although it does mean when they are right they tend to be a bit earlier.

The media were absolutly dreadful throughout this case and clearly were gutted it didnt attract a higher body count.

As for Gazza; when exactly is he a)being charged for wasting police time and b) being sent to the mental hospital for treatment.
