That the BBC did not cover a story from the USA in 1986? Hardly in any case that being before internet news it’s not surprising it was not covered as coverage was less extensive. It does not stand up as a comparison.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249817220736089013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791461091801719877.post-55554204007083987332010-04-25T08:51:48.988-07:002010-04-25T08:51:48.988-07:00Fairly well, see if you can find anything from any...Fairly well, see if you can find anything from any mainstream news outlet on either side of the pond, not much comes up, which would seem to refute your thesis.Progressive Pinheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464725288335587328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791461091801719877.post-75103289370229084452010-04-16T11:39:27.811-07:002010-04-16T11:39:27.811-07:00Didn't they?

The BBC certainly would not ignore a CMH winner from Iraq who went on to snub GW IMHO. A hypothetical situation in any case.<br /><br />How well do you remember it?Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249817220736089013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791461091801719877.post-5721282626082792152010-04-15T17:48:49.900-07:002010-04-15T17:48:49.900-07:00I recall the case of an American Medal of Honor aw...I recall the case of an American Medal of Honor awardee, Charles Liteky, who did more than simply snub the American President, but actaully returned his award in protest of American state terrorism in Latin America.
