BBC can't change can it?

BBC is at it again. It report gives graphic details of how civilians were killed in Colombo due to the claymore bomb. See below:

Deadly blast hits Sri Lanka bus

At least 21 people have been killed in a bomb explosion targeting a bus in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo.

Compare that with the coverage given to the claymore bombing in Mullaitivu.

'Six killed' by Sri Lankan army

'Six killed' is in single quote casting doubt about the fact. But 21 killed today is a fact and bold in the first paragraph. There is no way BBC is going to be truly and honestly on the side of the truth, is it?

Don't worry BBC you don't have to do this nominal coverage of killings in the north. Carry on with your cynical and complex propaganda to manufacture and maintain western public opinion that Tamils are the villains and not victims.

Personally, I will condemn both killings in fact any killing. Even though i do not have the power to stop the killings I will mourn for all the victims - specially the innocent ones. In the mean time, BBC you can continue with your selective reporting to reinforce the western governments morally bankrupt foriegn policy in Sri Lanka.
