OK, CNN is doing much better now with Sara Sidner live and crazy gun fire around, Stuart Ramsey is in front of her cause I saw her behind him in Sky's shot.
What's BBC News/World doing, surely not taking the 6??
CNN's Matthew Chance reporting gunfire in the Rixos. On Sunday night he said that there is a windowless safe room in the hotel, seems this is where the journalists have now gone. Very worrying.
Sky News showing live pictures from two correspondents inside Gaddafi's compound while BBC News cover other stories.
That's because the BBC are in a scheduled news programme
it's completely ridiculous- and frankly unacceptable- for them to adhere to their normal schedule and not do rolling coverage for that half an hour.
Agreed. That was the point I was hoping to make. I don't understand why the News Channel couldn't at the very least simulcast with World - terrible decision.
AlArabiya quoting Sky News quite a lot, the male anchor speaking over these pictures naming 'Alex Crawford'. Interesting to see given the impending launch of Sky News Arabia
Sky News is surely streets ahead of the competition, aswell as the BBC. Their coverage seems very lackluster at the moment, ITV News surprisingly hasn't been great too, which is a shame as usually with big international stories they are one of the best. No sign of Bill Neilly either?
Matthew Price - stuck in a hotel. Yes it's not his fault he can't get out, but why go there if it was going to be under government control.
Before the regime effectively disappeared on Sunday/Monday did they have any choice of where they could stay as journalists? I'm pretty sure Sky were there too.
Of course, as I said a few pages back these things are mostly luck - where people are at a certain unpredictable moment
