Also from BBCnews, this story about biblical archeologists's success at dating an artifact from biblical times... the Siloam tunnel. Of course, as a paragon of "unbiased" journalism, someone saw fit to throw this in:

But [unnamed scholars] say [the discovery] does not constitute proof that any particular race or community settled in Jerusalem before any other, and shouldn't be used to claim any kind of primacy.

Only in academia will you get something like, "just because an ancient book says it's so, and archeology confirms that, yes, it's so... doesn't make it true!" We ran into this sort of attitude all the time in anthropology... there were some physical anthropologists who wouldn't firmly declare the maker of a stone tool until they found one literally clutched in the cold, dead hand of its maker.

Anti-semitism, or just plain priggish obstinancy? You decide...
