BBC plays dead

Or maybe it's not playing. This is how the Guardian reports the BBC's response to Blair's attack on them reported by Rupert Murdoch.

The BBC and Downing Street were striving yesterday to avoid reopening old wounds after Rupert Murdoch said the prime minister had criticised the corporation's coverage of Hurricane Katrina as "full of hatred for America and gloating"

So the BBC glosses over smears on what precious little integrity it (or its staff) has.
