NPR's Melissa Block did a story today on college attitudes to the war at Georgetown (I'll leave aside for the moment the fact that Georgetown is hardly a "typical" American college). One student made a telling statement about BBC coverage. on All Things Considered. It's a radio segment, about the first 30 seconds or so into the segment.

This is a radio segment, so you have to listen. But there were students in a class who were participating in a war simulation via computer with some other students from a foreign country. One girl was supposed to be "saddam hussein." She mentioned during her remarks that she had trouble combatting the negative press, although the arab media was with her, and "The BBC coverage was helpful!" There was slight laughter in the background.
