Just Journalism, a independent research group focused on how Israel and Middle East issues are reported in British media, examined news coverage of the Russian spy ring recently nabbed in the United States, which allegedly used British and Irish passports.

'In the latter case, expressions of political and media outrage were abundant,' it determined. 'In the former, not so much on either front.'"
