Especially with the Bhutto asassination they were able to pull together a clear, concise analysis of the situation and the implications much faster. Perhaps we're witnessing the first signs of the brain drain from the BBC because of the massive cuts in domestic channels. BBC News 24 was like a training college on the 27th...Same 90 seconds of news repeated for what seemed like hours.

I thought you raised many points about the context of this situation, and where to find nuanced coverage. That's stuff that western mainstream journalists should know, so I posted about your overview on Poynter's E-Media Tidbits. http://poynter.org/column.asp?id=31&aid=135284 - Amy Gahran Ethan, excellent job on this post.
