While we're on the topic of thorough investigations and complicity in terrorism, we would be remiss if we didn't mention the good ol' BBC, Britain's state-owned news agency. Is it biased in its coverage if Mideast events?

Well, sure. But it really helps to be able to prove it.

Trevor Asserson is a lawyer based in London who is global head of litigation for an international law firm. Research assistant was Elisheva Mironi, an Israeli lawyer who recently obtained a Masters Degree in Human Rights Law including Media Law at University College London. They do a fine job here. Conclusions include:

"Some of the breaches are in our view quite glaring. At times, by a mere selection or omission of facts, the BBC provides a report which portrays the very opposite of the truth. Frequently the BBC report is misleading. At times it appears to invent material to suit its own bias."

Wow, that's damning - and backed up all the way. Their report on the BBC is every bit as good as Die Zeit's piece on the EU and Arafat.
