Lazy and Perhaps Telling Headlines Department

Today on the BBC we find two headlines: for this story about Europe’s growing awareness that al-Qaeda’s war isn’t about opposition to Hollywood, Halliburton, and George Bush, but rather about opposition to western civilization in general:
BBC Headline: Europe Facing up to al-Qaeda reality

…And this headline, for this story about yesterday’s Spanish elections:
BBC Headline: Spain awakes to socialist reality

Given the BBC’s political bent, I hardly think that this is the comparison they were trying to draw.
