There is no better example of the decline of the professionalism of the BBC than in comparing the coverage of Syria versus coverage of Egypt on the BBC. The BBC correspondent in Cairo was adamant in denouncing the Egyptian protesters yesterday: he was outraged that they were "throwing stones" and said that they are playing with fire. HE said that the Military Council made it clear that Ministry of Defense is "a red line". Oh, really? You denounce throwing rocks in Cairo but endorse throwing rockets and bombs by Syrian protesters? What are the standards? What is "playing with fire", Mr.?
