It has taken far too much time, but the US State Department's recent condemnation of Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi's antisemitic, terror-glorifying statements - shown in a video from 2010 which was released almost two weeks ago by MEMRI - has left Western journalists no choice but to begin reporting the story. 

However, in its own report on the subject which appeared in the Middle East section of the BBC News website on January 16th, the BBC apparently could not resist 'tweaking' Morsi's words.
