News-makers, workers and consumers all have a warm, sometimes passionate, interest in the accuracy of news. Accusations of bias or in- accuracy in the news media are so commonplace in the political life of Western countries that they need little documentation. In Britain, the tensions have surfaced most recently over the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas war with Argentina. The government criticized coverage of the war by the BBC and some newspapers as "over-neutral". The Sun newspaper (editorial of 7 May 1982) accused the BBC, Daily Mirror, and the Guardian of treason. Simultaneously, the Glasgow University Media Group was documenting the BBC's coverage as overwhelmingly pro-British (Sunday Times, 16 May 1982).
