When people say, "oh breaking on Twitter, or broke on Twitter" I'd say 99.9% discussion is started when someone like Sky, BBC, Reuters or PA post a tweet. I wish the own news orgs would realise this also.

I assume they had a reviewer who could read Arabic?
Nice touch on the Sky paper review, looking at the front pages of some Arabic newspapers.

Doesn't seem to be available on iPlayer yet. BBC correspondent just reported on the radio that an ITN reporter had an AK47 put in his face, but was luckily okay and the incident ended "amicably".
I'm listening to Radio 4's Media Show. Very interesting discussion regarding Sky and BBC's recent coverage of Libya. If you can bear to be without any visual stimulation for 30 mins, give it a listen on i-player. Should pop up on there shortly after 14:00hrs.
