A provocative comparison for the BBC perhaps?

Quote:
The successful SAS mission came a month after a covert US military mission failed to free 52 American hostages held at the US embassy in Tehran. Eight soldiers died, and another four men suffered burns, when a helicopter crashed into a transport plane.

The hostage ordeal began in November 1979 when a group of radical Iranian students stormed the embassy and the hostages were not freed until January 1981.

The entire outlook of BBC News is slowly but surely shifting - overall policy is to become 'more relevant' (answers on a postcard) apparently... You can already see it in some of the headlines alone, never mind some of the tabloid-style paragraphs :evil:
