#3 The BBC consistently reported that the Sunni Arab rebels in Iraq were winning. I'm still waiting. I suspect this bias is due to the vast majority of Muslims (90%) being Sunni and therefore overrepresented among the people it relies upon to provide translations and act as facilitators. While there may be institutional factors involved, I suspect the key factor is demographic.
