Good point. I spent some time in London, and the first few weeks were a disaster. Every time I called the escort service and asked for a hot Asian chick, things turned out poorly. I would invariably open the door to a sweaty raghead or red dot. Get with the program, Britian!

Another thing that the LAT did in the article was to “clarify” what it means in Britain when they refer to someone as “Asian”, which is a person of Pakistani, Indian or Bangladesh decent. In LA, that term usually means something quite different — yesterday I was wondering if there was now some form of Japanese, Korean or Chinese Al Qaeda component working in the UK, now I know what’s up.

Media Bias: UK Subway Shooting Independent Sources examines the bias, or lack thereof, in coverage of the London Subway Shooting from the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times. Needless to say, the NY Times loses.

Local Liberty, Dafydd, Darleen’s Place, Patterico, Flap, and Right on the Beach to name a few. (Yikes! Am I the only person who didn’t post a round-up?) Update: Independent Sources just posted an article praising (yes, praising) an LAT article on the London subway shooting compared to the treatment of the same incident by the NYT. Read the quoted passages from each paper and make your own conclusion.
