[quote]TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's state TV charged Wednesday that the BBC hacked its website to change the results of a poll about Iran's nuclear program. The BBC denied the allegation.
The West suspects Iran may be aiming to produce nuclear weapons. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes like energy production.
The British broadcaster's Farsi language service reported that the poll showed 63 percent of those who took part favored halting uranium enrichment in exchange for an end to Western economic sanctions.
The TV report Wednesday said the actual figure was 24 percent, and the rest favored retaliation against the West with measures like closing the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key to exporting oil from the Gulf.
In a statement, the BBC said the claims were "both ludicrous and completely false, and the BBC Persian Service stands by its reporting."
"There is a significant audience within Iran which depends on BBC Persian to provide impartial and trusted news, and we are confident they are familiar with the state media's tactics," it said.
The poll was taken off Iran TV's website on Tuesday.[/quote]

The bbc?
Where else did they get all those awful stock images?
Yep, a news service hacks into websites and screws with things. Pretty sane sounding Iran
Ah yes BBC, the unbiased assassin of news channels and websites.
They do know what the BBC is right?
This is like accusing Switzerland of plotting to invade Italy.
I don't think that they understand what hacking is. Or what the BBC is.
Yeah sure Iran, it's more likely that the pool was hacked [b]by the BBC[/b] and not that that's what your people actually feel.
Okay Iran you just keep believing that.
Oh lord... Their website looks to be of a very similar design to any website made in MS Publisher.

Actually she lost that when the Swiss government found out we were trying to use it as an excuse to kick her out of the United States.
