Looking at the various news websites this morning (6.30am), it's interesting to see their contrasting news priorities.
Sky News and ITV both lead with the latest school shootings in the U.S., a story BBC News doesn't feature in its top 10. The BBC leads with the resignation of Labour's Scottish leader.
Politically, the most striking difference is that both Sky and ITV make Tony Blairs alleged negative remarks about Ed Miliband [the lead in the Daily Telegraph] one of their top 3 stories, while the BBC website ignores the story - which will doubtless provoke a few knowing 'aha!'s from those who accuse the BBC of pro-Labour bias....
...though the fact that the BBC is leading with Johann Lamont's parting shots at her Labour colleagues rather counters that criticism.
