Talking of 'burying in Berkshire' or 'hiding in Herts'...
I've also seen the claim today that the BBC isn't reporting that the Iranian regime's PRESS TV (banned by Ofcom) broadcast live from the CLP meeting where Labour Friends of Israel chair Joan Ryan lost a vote of no confidence. After all, the Sky News website considered it important enough to make it headline news ("Investigation launched after Iranian state TV films private Labour meeting"), and so did the Guardian ("Iranian TV station banned in UK shows footage of Labour vote").
Ah but, you see, the BBC News website did report it. They updated an earlier report about the votes against Ms Ryan and Gavin Shuker. And, if you scroll down ten paragraphs though the piece, you'll find it mentioned there.

By the way, if you want to see the difference between a typical BBC News paper review and a Sky News paper review, then please click on and watch the following clips from last night concerning this very story, as reported on the front page of the Daily Telegraph:
The difference is extraordinary, isn't it?
The Sky presenter (Anna Jones) introduced the story straight and without expressing her own view and let her guests get on and discuss it, and her guests - highly contrasted in their views - duly discussed it and disagreed about it (vigorously).
The BBC presenter (Rachel Schofield) introduced the story in a mocking tone and repeatedly signalled her view that the Telegraph had gone too far and intervened in the following discussions to re-signal that view, and her guests - nowhere near so highly contrasted in their views - duly discussed it and agreed with her and each other (with much nodding of heads all round).
I prefer Sky's way.
