Battle for Tripoli

As another chapter closes on the Arab Spring, BBC is bringing to us brilliant coverage of events on ground through the power of technology combined with real guts and determination of the news reporters.

Please don't editorialize in your title.<p>"BBC has live coverage of the events unfolding in Tripoli"<p>is preferable to<p>"BBC's amazing live coverage of events unfolding in Tripoli".<p>If you want to comment on the quality of their coverage, do it in the HN comments.

This is funny - reading the title of this post, I thought perhaps it was being sarcastic. A few hours ago a number of tweets appeared in my stream criticising the BBC for being slow on the uptake WRT Libya. Maybe they've caught up by now.<p>For Example: "<i>BBC correspondent: "Rumours that rebels are advancing into Tripoli". Sky correspondent: sitting in truck with rebels advancing into Tripoli.</i>" <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/Mr_Eugenides/status/105386842785980416" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/#!/Mr_Eugenides/status/10538684278598041...</a><p>and<p>"<i>Alex Crawford (female) is fab for Sky News in Tripoli while BBC guy is stuck in Gaddaffi surrounded hotel. BBC coverage is shambolic. Why?</i>" <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/LesleyRiddoch/status/105554782642651136" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/#!/LesleyRiddoch/status/1055547826426511...</a><p>(Sky is the main non-state-funded News channel in the UK).
