Let me try and parse your absolute nonsense. I have to read the BBC to
understand it? You've never listened to the BBC? You know one of those "Bs"
in BBC stands for Broadcasting. One could certainly debate whether or not a
fully goverment supported organization like the BBC would provide a more
balanced view than say a for profit outfit like Fox News. I have no answer
for that debate. I have never found a news organzation that didn't report
with some bias. It is important to know what that bias is when you get a
story from that organzation whether that be Fox or the BBC. I don't buy the
Fox "Fair and Balanced" but I don't think Big Ben plays it straight up
either.
However I have personally listened to the BBC long enough to hear actors
having to read the parts of statements by the IRA since the British
government banned them. Boy that is certainly showing objectivity. That is
just one example of many stories from Princess Diana to the War in the
Falklands that I have listened to hours on end where the BBC has supported
the position of the British Government rather than the facts. Wow, what a
concept! Doing what your boss tells you to do and hands you a paycheck to
do. If you count the BBC as "Actually, BBC is neither far left nor far
right." you are a complete hopeless moron. Do you remember that Gavyn Davies
resigned his chairmanship of the BBC after the Hutton inquiry. We'll check
out some BBC coverage from the marching season next July from Belfast to see
if things have improved. I can only wonder if you actually know left from
right. Wait, I read your posts, the answer is obviously NOT!
