BBC finally report the opinion poll giving the Conservatives an 18 point lead

The BBC studiously avoided reporting the ICM opinion poll giving the Conservatives an 18 point lead last week. They do mention it today, by putting it in context and at the bottom of a rousing piece regarding David Miliband's support for Gordon Brown (my emphasis):

"The ICM survey for the News of the World suggests 131 Labour MPs would be ejected from the Commons in favour of their Conservative challengers.

The findings point to a 9% swing from Labour to the Tories, giving Mr Cameron a 64-seat majority.

But another poll by ICM, for The Sunday Telegraph, puts the Tories on 39% nationally, 10 points ahead of Labour on 29% and the Lib Dems on 20%.

It suggests a shortening lead for the Conservatives, who had an 18-point lead in a survey by the same organisation last week."

The BBC only reporting the bad polls for Labour when a better poll comes out.
