"apparently"?

The BBC are still in full defend Gordon Brown mode over The Sun story about his misspelling of Jacqui Janes's name. The BBC head up their piece with the words:
"Gordon Brown apologises to a mother after apparently misspelling the name of her dead soldier son in a letter. "
Take a look at the top of the from The Sun today -
"Apparently"? Surely it is beyond doubt. The BBC go on to report Gordon Brown's second defence:
"Mr Brown said he was sorry "for any unintended mistake", adding that his writing could be "difficult to read". "
Pah!

Meanwhile The Sun have picked up on the Gordon Brown not bowing his head at the Cenotaph on Sunday.

The BBC seem to be ignoring Brown's lack of a bow of the head at the Cenotaph. Trickier to excuse, perhaps.

Anita Anand read out just one e-mail on today's 'The Daily Politics' on the subject of the letter - and it was one that strongly defended Gordon Brown. Just how representative was it of all the e-mails the programme received on the subject? Did the majority of e-mailers sympathize with Brown? Just how representative are ANY of the e-mails Anita Anand chooses to read out on 'The Daily Politics'(including after Prime Minister's Questions)?

I don't know about you Not a Sheep, but I'm very suspicious about this.
