BBC takes statements by Hamas and Sudan at face value

This item is entitled "Bin Laden call falls on deaf ears."

A call attributed to Osama Bin Laden for Islamic holy war in Sudan and other Muslim states has been disowned by the Sudanese government and Hamas.

Does it occur to the BBC that the call actually fell on very attentive ears but that it is not good diplomacy to say so openly?
