Watching bits of the Hillsborough memorial service yesterday, and noticed that BBC showed it
Unedited whilst Sky edited bits out that had the slightest dig at it, ie Murdoch/McKenzies lies etc
Andy Burnham made some reference, and Roberto Martinz too, good write up in today's guardian too
So 25 years years nothing really changed the Murdoch corporation is still covering up its lies (not for first or last time) and it still Won't apologise to 96 who deaths it disgracefully slurred

    I am no defender of Murdoch, far from it, but The Sun has apologised on numerous occasions for its disgraceful coverage of the aftermath of Hillsborough. It suffered a catastrophic drop in circulation on Merseyside from which it has never recovered.Murdoch personally ordered MacKenzie to go on BBC Radio and make a grovelling apology (although MacKenzie has subsequently said it was not a sincere apology) and he was subsequently removed as editor of The Sun.The BBC was the only broadcaster with cameras at the match (no Sky in those days) and I can remember Des Lynam doing a masterful job as Grandstand went live to Hillsborough that afternoon, so any material of the actual events is from the BBC - CNN ran a long chunk this morning.
