British Embassy petrol bombed

Did you know that the British Embassy in Iran was attacked with petrol bombs on Tuesday,  in an anti-cartoon protest?  No,  neither did I.  You would have known if you lived in Germany,  the United Arab Emirates or Taiwan but none of our papers seemed to think that the story was important enough to print.  Try doing a News Google and you won't find much from the UK media.

Do you ever get the impression that,  like the politicians,  the media wish that the whole cartoon thing would just go away?

But its not just the cartoons thing, there is a huge amount of stories that are hiden by the UK media.
Basically anything that threatens the ideals of the multi-cultural utopia.

We're having the same problem in the US, with the mainstream news media paying more attention to the Cheney hunting non-event than to real news.

It's getting utterly ridiculous.
