BBC always keen to support Totalitarian states and their henchmen

The BBC are pleased to "report" in a piece entitled "Beijing pollution efforts hailed" that

"The head of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rogge, has praised Beijing's "extraordinary" efforts to cut pollution ahead of the Games.

He said there would be no danger to the health of athletes, despite continuing concerns about pollution levels."

If you read on you will discover that far from Beijing's air quality being of an acceptable standard the air quality is recorded as having

"levels of particulate matter (PM10) at 191 micrograms per cubic metre. This far exceeds the WHO target of 50 micrograms/cubic metre, and also exceeds the WHO target for developing countries of 150 micrograms/cubic metre."

The BBC as always have a headline to suit their world view and openning paragraphs to match. Any contrary views are safely presented beyond the point where most people stop reading.

The BBC are as always happy to support totalitarian states and the heads of international bodies of dubious moral standing. Can you imagine the BBC headlines if the PM10 readings at an Olympics held in the USA reached 51 micrograms/cubic metre?
