Cultural diversity at BBC website

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

The grahic shows the top three stories, front and center, at the BBC World News website right now. While two terrorist organizations scrap over a small patch a desert in the Palestinian territories, Iraqi religious sects continue to blow each other into smears of blood. Meanwhile, the West, led by the U.S., is conducting a spacewalk to rewire the International Space Station.

Still think all cultures are equal?

I'm not sure what your point is - are you saying that all 3 stories should have equal prominence?

The stories illustrate cultural differences between Arabs and the West. While they're fighting to be Chief Terrorist, we're advancing civilization.

Placement on the page is irrelevant.

It's ironic that you say we're advancing civilisation when we've caused the two other problems - Israel/Palestine and Iraq!

OK.
