I followed the BBC Web coverage a little and didn't notice any

Blair attacks BBC for 'anti-US bias'
James Robinson, David Smith and Ned Temko
Sunday September 18, 2005
The Observer
Tony Blair has denounced the BBC's coverage of Hurricane Katrina as
'full of hatred of America' and 'gloating' at the country's plight,
it was reported yesterday.
Blair allegedly made the remarks privately to Rupert Murdoch,
chairman and chief executive of News Corporation, which owns the
rival Sky News.
The comments threatened a new rift between the government and the
BBC following the Andrew Gilligan affair over events leading to the
Iraq war and recent criticisms of ministers Today presenter John
Humphrys, which were controversially leaked to the press.
