BBC News Recognises Ron Paul But Still Biased Towards Obama

Meanwhile Republicans across Maine have voted in weekend caucuses which former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won.

Mr Romney won just over half of the vote in the state caucuses, well clear of his main rival and current Republican front runner, John McCain, who won 20%.

The pair were trailed by fellow Republican candidates Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee.

Yeah, we are like 1% behind Mc Cain and it's not even over yet. 20% shows that we're catching him anyways. Hardly "trailing", and the fact that Ron Paul is basically tying with Mc Cain should be newsworthy.


Then out of all the parts of the MTV debate they could've commented on, they chose:

Mr Paul answered a question on whether the US should intervene to end the violence in Sudan's Darfur region.

"I don't believe in using force in that manner," he said. "Under the Constitution, we're not allowed to do that."

While I guess the American president's view on Sudan is more relevant to the UK than things like what the Americans are doing with their healthcare, that's not the whole feel to the article.

Though the BBC is a socialist kind of organisation, I'm not surprised they're covering Obama heavily. It's a shame though, they are otherwise a very reliable news source
