79. Uh, don't trust the BBC feeds put on by NPR.
A few weeks ago, I was listening to "BBC 'Newshour' on NPR" and they had a segment on called "The Interview" where they were talking to a woman named Gunn who's son was in Iraq and she wasn't too happy about what he was telling her about his service there.

When I listened to the BBC on shortwave later in the day, I heard the same segment, or at least parts of it were the same segment, because what I had heard through NPR was HEAVILY edited for content. Mrs. Gunn had a LOT more to say about what she thought of Bush's war than the NPR censors let through.

Don't bother listening to Auntie Beeb on NPR, it's "stepped on".
