BBC Buys Google News Keywords In Kelly Case
foreign devil writes "BBC has purchased keywords related to coverage of the Hutton Inquiry in an attempt to direct all traffic to their special news coverage. This would be only moderately interesting, except the BBC is complicit in the death of Dr. Kelly and the 'sexing up' of the Iraq dossier. The article in the Guardian says this is coming out of the GBP 63.5m ad budget. I wonder how much it would cost them if someone, say, automated searching for those links on Google." It doesn't seem fair to pronounce the BBC complicit in Kelly's death (unless that's proven by the facts of the case), but it's certainly an interested party.

What's with the sudden attack of journalistic integrity here? THIS IS SLASHDOT. You guys will post anything and not correct the headline, and all of a sudden you're going to temper wild baseless accusations?
Oh wait, this story isn't anti-MS, anti-SCO, anti-corporate, or anti-American. Carry on.
no one worth there own pocket change claims the BBC has no bias. it just has bias similiar to a lot of people who read news
everyone is bias, as some dead person once said.
Type "miserable failure" into google and hit "I'm Feeling Lucky".
can you morons stop buying into all the BS the BBC publishes?
Obviously the guy who fucked you in the ear didn't have any trouble getting it out the other ear.
bbc is dying
How dare you compare our American heroes to terrorists!
I am an ex-New Yorker, I remember the World Trade Center!
People like you make me wish the stuff about Ashcroft putting American dissidents in camps was true. (but only for a bit, when I'm really angry - so don't flame me to death).
Seriously, Al-Qaeda hates freedom and wants us all dead. Far cry from a people that wanted to be free.
Fighting FOR freedom is MUCH different than fighting AGAINST freedom.
As politically incorrect as it may be here on Slashdot, and unfortunately most of society, I am still going to say it:
*GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!*
Ever wonder why people risk their lives trying to get IN to this country, and risk their lives trying to get OUT of many others?
Just because it CAN be done, doesn't mean it should!
Yet the Israelis, who blow up Palestinian babies and other non-combatants far more efficently and in greater numbers than the Palestinians, you think they are not terrorists ?
Thats right, I forgot - they're government sanctioned, so its OK.
