Joe Biden fell asleep during Barack Obama's deficit speech yesterday. Oddly the BBC have not bothered to report this although they were obsessed by Ken Clarke falling asleep during George Osborne's Budget speech and I am sure would have run with Dick Cheney falling asleep during a George Bush speech. Just like the recent Barack Obama failure to find the back door into the White House which the BBC ignored although a few years ago they were all over George Bush's similar problem.
The BBC's bias is clear and obvious but they will deny it to their last collective breath.

Maybe they are more concerned about Ken Clarke falling asleep because it happened in this country and not a foreign land. After all tehy are the British Broadcasting Corp. The clue is in the name.
That's naive at best. So why the disparity in coverage of George Bush and Barack Obama's door problems?
Why would that be naive? If anything we cover far too much about US politics.
As for your conjecture about Cheney does that not reveal your own bias?
If you believe that that is the reason then your are more than naive. The BBC attacked Dick Cheney for less than falling asleep; a prime example being his logical point about known unknowns etc. The BBC have made fun out of that over and over again when it was a perfectly sensible and rather good summation of the intelligence problem.
"Known unknowns" was idiotic at best, and for you not to realise that backs up Jaz's accurate point about your own bias.
Michael G.
Michael G you missed a glaring mistake but attacked the 'idiotic' comment. My mistake was ascribing the 'known unknowns' comment to Dick Cheney when it was, of course, a comment made by Donald Rumsfeld.
However since you think th ecomment 'idiotic' I will play ball, what's idiotic about it? What does not make sense? Have you actually broken the comments down and analysed them?
No answer to my question Michael G? Why have you gone all quiet in the face of the facts in my recent post?
