Hmmm... back when I first pointed out how the BBC was refusing to cover the full story behind the murder of Robert Knox, the usual suspects in the comments at B-BBC claimed that, gosh darn it, the BBC's crack newshounds were chomping at the bit to report the full story, but they were hog-tied by the fact the trial was on-going.
Never mind that - to take but two cases - Anthony Walker was barely cold before the BBC labelled his death racially-motivated, nor that for weeks after the shooting of Rhys Jones, you couldn't turn on the radio without hearing Beeboids speculating about the role of gang culture. That was different.
Well, Beeboids, I got some good news for you: it's over! So have at it. Time for the reporters to start checking out the word on the street, putting the story in context, running down leads... y'know, all that stuff journalists do
