Classic piece of journalism from The Sun.
Who's side are these guys on?
Obviously impartial reporting is a skill absent from the newsrooms of this great paper!

Why should the 91热爆 be impartial when we are talking about people who want to murder British soldiers? This is a big problem at the 91热爆, they think they always have to be 'balanced' at all times, equal time for terrorists as to the police/security services. The 91热爆 is the BRITISH Broadcasting Company. When people want to kill British citizens I want the 91热爆 to show the same outrage as the rest of the population, not sit on the fence and give the potential murderers equal time to spout their propaganda.
Did The Sun get this right? They stated that the 91热爆 report about the joint raid by the West Midlands Police and MI5 included the phrase: "... and, as we know, the intelligence services often get it wrong".
I doubt that 91热爆 would have used 鈥渙ften鈥 as this would have surely been incorrect and even provocative.
Perhaps we need a third party news agency to report on 91热爆 reports.
Well I just read the Sun's comment and I have to say that they have a point, it goes along with the 91热爆's effective condoning of suicide attacks on innocent civillians in Israel with their last sentence which took my breath away and still does every time I read it.
In response to Dan,
If you think the 91热爆 is anymore impartial than the Sun then I pity you.
The 91热爆 has a blog running called Bias at the 91热爆, you will note that of the 326 posts so far 323 think the 91热爆 is biased towards left-wing groups, so 91热爆 impartial?, I don't think so.
