Compare and contrast:

The BBC:

Pair killed by Underground train

Two suspected graffiti artists have been killed by a London Underground (LU) train in Barking, east London.

The Sunday Times:

Vandals mowed down by train

TWO young men were killed after being caught spraying graffiti on a London Underground train and then running into the path of another Tube train as they tried to escape.

Artists indeed! It’s almost a pity that the tasteless deadtrainbums.com site (archived here) went the same way.

    Wouldn’t want the BBc to judge these poor “Graffiti Artists” would we?. Soft on crime and the causes of crime – its what we do.

    Suppose vandals spray-painted the homes of BBC officials and reporters. Do you think the BBC would describe them as artists? I don’t think so.
