It was not my intention to start a flamewar; but with all the talk about "biased RT", "biased Al Jazeera", etc. flying about, I wanted to point out how BBC also is equally biased, just not in the direction "we" would like them to be.

- dang 9y agoI don't disagree with you, but in this context, it just doesn't matter. Being right is of small significance compared to not going up in flames. Nobody ever feels like they were the one who started anything, so that consideration has little value.
