but MLK didnt spend 20+ years in prison either.

Yonatan Pollard have been longer in prision.

He's a traitor. Not the same.

"According to the CIA's 1987 damage assessment of Pollard's crimes, which was declassified on December 14, 2012, Pollard was not asked by his Israeli handlers to gather information on U.S. military activities, but rather to collect U.S. intelligence on Arab states, Pakistan and the Soviet Union, and especially their weapons systems.[126]"

Traitor.

Pollard should have been hanged.

When it came to gathering intelligence on the US itself, the report found Israel "did not request or receive from Pollard intelligence concerning some of the most sensitive US national security resources."

What the fuck does this mean?

If they told you they would have to kill you.

And Charlie Manson has been even longer, so what?

The death of Nelson Mandela is a big story, but according to the BBC it's the only story. 

I've just spent some minutes replaying the BBC news stream and I can't find any other news being covered, not even the weather forecast.

I assume they had plenty of material already recorded and ready to role for this sad event.



My question is what sort of bias and perspective do you expect your news coverage to have ?

National vs international, breaking vs long term trends, serious vs celebrity content, what mix would you choose ?

All of that. But when it's a major news story, such as Mandela dying; a terror attack; a major weather catastrophe, you pretty much just cover that.

Unlike MLK, Mandela was a terrorist.

Under a loose enough definition of "terrorist" to include Mandela, so was George Washington.

Did Mandela kill people in their beds at Christmas?  I thought not.  GW > Mandela.

I'm not seeing the connection.

[Eddie Teach]

Why do you hate Jews, Raz?

[Jacob]

Far more important than MLK.

I don't know if I buy that. Someone who has a significant impact on the U.S., or India or China for that matter, is likely to have more impact on the world than some one who has a massive impact on a country like South Africa.

Mandela had a significant impact outside of SA as well - in Africa, Europe, and North America.

And that is why Frederick the Great called Washington the best terrorist ever!
