> but they also didn't tell you that the SpaceX flight

We know it is a SpaceX flight. I have never seen any news story call it an "American flight". Have always seen news stories attribute to the organization: NASA/SpaceX/Virgin Galactic etc. I would have ignored the slight had the story at least mentioned ISRO. And this is a report by the "Science Correspondent". This would be a bare minimum expectation.

> I vouched you comment back up because I think it's worth linking, but no need to ascribe some sort of malicious motive to the BBC here.

Thanks for vouching. Well BBC has held an anti-India stance for quite a long time[1]. Even positive stories are spun around to paint India in a negative light. And it is not just the BBC. A huge section of the Western media indulges in this behavior. So felt like calling them out. Even if I am the lone voice here.
