There are a hundred reasons why it’s time to pull the plug on this rotten BBC
by Basil Valentine | 21st Century Wire
There are so many jumping off points for an article about the egregiousness of the BBC that it’s very difficult to know where to begin, but let’s start with filmmaker Ken Loach who was speaking outside the BBC offices in Bristol last week at a demonstration against the Corporation’s bias in its reporting of the current Gaza conflict.
“They don’t put the views of Palestinians to the Israelis during interviews, while the use of language about Gazans is pejorative and the war crimes being committed against them ignored. They’re not ‘militants’ or ‘terrorists,’ they’re ‘resistance fighters.’ On the one side innocent people are being massacred, while the other are setting off a few fireworks. It’s the BBC, we own it, so it should be answerable.”
Indeed it should Ken. You can write to Feedback, Radio 4′s weekly digest of praise and complaints, where the sages of the high command just may or may not deign to read your letter, or of course you can go through the formal procedure of making a complaint (good luck with that one – ed.).

The people of Britain could put an end to the BBC tomorrow, if only they’d stop supplanting their mother’s tit with the box in the corner, and stop buying a TV license. I say that because people seem to look to their television for nurture and comfort and become engrossed in it, much like an infant does. The difference being the for the infant it is a necessity, the television is a want not a need.
