Take a look at these two articles. Both cover the same event. But the BBC doesn't make any mention of the fact that the bus that was attacked was full of women and children.

That seems like a fairly important detail that went unnoticed by the BBC. These guys targeted a bunch of kids and then hit the survivors at an emergency room.
P.S. This is George Bush's fault.

it probably is connected to Bush's horrifically flawed middle east actions, but that aside, i don't understand why you care to distinguish victims. don't you want to bomb the entire region?

Sure I do. I'm just pointing out the media's PC agenda of refusing to acknowledge reality.
Bush makes the Shia and Sunnis fight.

the media, as in a part of the UK's media? is your point that the liberal media in the US is willing to give the full details of the event and that the lib'ruls in the UK are socializing the news?

Socializing the news? No. I'm not sure what the hell that means. All I'm saying is the BBC clearly left out some pertinent information so as not to offend the wrong people. I haven't looked at too many US stories but I would imagine there are a few here who've done the same. (kudos to ABC news, btw)
Here's CNN's version. It wasn't on the home page. It didn't even pop up when you searched for world news. I had to type "Karachi" in the search box.
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- A blast targeting a bus filled with Shiite religious observers in Karachi killed at least 12 people and another explosion in front of a hospital where attack victims were being treated killed six more Friday, a government official said.
Motorcycles were used in both assaults, police said, and they came during the Shiite observance of Arbaeen, a commemoration that takes place 40 days after the anniversary of Iman Hussein's death, which is also known as Ashura.
Sindh provincial health minister, Dr. Saghir Ahmed said that along with the 12 dead, 30 people were injured in the first blast.
The second blast happened in front of the emergency room at Jinnah Hospital, where doctors treated people from the first attack and people on stretchers were waiting to be taken in to the crowded facility. Along with the six slain, five people were wounded.
The last deadly blast in Karachi took place late December during Ashura, when more than 40 people were killed.

still not sure what your point is beyond the BBC and CNN didn't mention the women and children and ABC news did. is it possible they don't all have the same info to report?
CNN did mention that it was civilians. Perhaps they didn't feel the need to single out women and children from other civilians? I don't know. I'm not exactly sure where you're going with this one GG. Suddenly ABC is good? Didn't you call them the "All Barack Channel" once? Maybe that wasn't you.
I guess other than reiterating your hatred for CNN, I'm not sure what's going on with this thread.
