Blair "Gets It"
Mr Murdoch, a long-time critic of the BBC who controls rival Sky News, said the prime minister had recounted his feelings in a private conversation earlier this week in New York.">FT.com / US / Clinton summit - Blair shocked over BBC Katrina coverage: "Tony Blair was shocked by the BBC's coverage of Hurricane Katrina's devastation of New Orleans, describing it as "full of hatred of America", Rupert Murdoch, chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, revealed on Friday night.
Mr Murdoch, a long-time critic of the BBC who controls rival Sky News, said the prime minister had recounted his feelings in a private conversation earlier this week in New York."
I just thought this was particularly interesting. Enemies of America will take any opportunity to speak ill of us, but I really like Blair. I really like that he was disturbed by the BBC's coverage. One would hope that such a disgusting disregard for the human element of the story in order to play politics will work against them. They could have used that air time to encourage their viewers to help those that are now in a state of poverty, something that the BBC and other more liberal people suggest is their main concern in the world.
