I find their reporting less courageous (and thus neutral) and I get a sense that their standards have slipped of late. This is not a shock however. Back in the spring of 2001 a Serbian bus belongin to Nis Express was bombed in the Kosovo-Serbia border and both B92 and BBC News reported another similar bus explosion near Peja/Pec citing a Serb news agency in Bosnia. It became clear within few hours that there was no explosion in Peja/Pec and ever since I view even the BBC News with suspicion. Following the Iraq war, my opinion of BBC News has reached new lows.
