Unbelievable!

Is the BBC going to report on the apology? Well, wherever the apology is, it can't be seen on the main page of the news website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/ or their main site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/

It is hidden under the UK news section with a small headline, 'Papers feast on BBC royal apology': http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6896871.stm

Even then, the article has only a very small bit on that:

"The BBC's apology to the Queen is covered by several newspapers, including the Times and the Daily Mail.

The Times' report appears with two sets of images from the promotional video of the documentary about the Queen.

The first shows the BBC's version of her confrontation with the American photographer, Annie Leibovitz.

The other shows how the sequence of events actually unfolded. The Mail says the Queen was said to be livid at the way the footage was manipulated. "

With such a title, it is surprising to find that 75% of the article is not about the apology but rather about the national curriculum in British schools! How convenient.

Bravo BBC!


Addendum

I just found that the blog, Biased BBC, has detailed coverage.

The Times has also got a detailed report.

Addendum II

The BBC news site finally has a report on the front page. A new deveopment:

"The controller of BBC One has insisted he is not planning to resign over the Queen documentary blunder.

Peter Fincham spoke out after he allowed journalists to see a television trailer which appeared to show the Queen storming out of a photo shoot.

He said showing the footage, which had misrepresented the sequence of events, was a regrettable "human error". "

Best of it all, this report was filed under, get this, ENTERTAINMENT!
I wonder what happened to accountability there.
