  • My criticism of the BBC

    I've been reading a few online newspaper articles criticising the BBC. I'm very critical of the BBC myself and so I've decided to share my thoughts on the subject.

    My overall view of the BBC is that it has its fingers in too many pies and should do less, but much better. I don't see why it needs to mimic commercial broadcasters.

    The corporation is far too Londocentric; I'd like to see a lot more local coverage, yet conversely also more world coverage, especially news and current affairs - specifically Europe, which is rarely covered, and when it is, it is nearly always about the EU.

    The BBC's liberal left-wing bias is widely reported; how it is very critical of the US and Israel and very supportive of multiculturalism, political correctness, moral relativism, urban cosmopolitanism and the EU. Some of its news reporting is blatantly biased, or just incorrect and all of the programming staff seem to share the same mindset - there is no room for any dissent.

    To be honest, I think the BBC is beyond salvation; and should be broken up and sold off, or turned into a subscription-only service. I'm forced to pay £130 ($260) per year for a service that denies, denigrates and belittles everything I am and believe in - yet I need an annual licence in order to watch any TV service here in the UK - if I don't pay it, it's six months in prison.

  • What's in store?

    Two businessmen were taking a break while setting up their soon-to-open store's shelving units. There they sat, in the middle of nothing but empty shelves. One said, "I bet any minute now some smart aleck will stick his head in the door and ask what we're selling."

    Within minutes, a man did just that, "Hey, boys, whacha sellin'?" One businessman responded sarcastically, "We're selling assholes."

    Without missing a beat, the man rejoined, "Looks like business is good; ya only got two left!"
