Well I hear BBC News journalists are on strike! Brilliant ! This is just what we want. Hopefully they will stay out long enough for someone somewhere to take action and get rid of them for ever.
Once upon a time we could be sure the BBC would try to be objective. It would not express its own political views willy nilly, or slant its presentation of the news. Now we cant be so sure. It used to report the facts of a matter. Now it comments upon them in such a way that even the fortunate-well-educated could be forgiven for thinking the comments are representations of fact.
And while the strike continues it's another great opportunity to weed out the lefty element at all levels in the Beeb.Maybe even introduce more than just The Guardian for recommended reading?
And what if, as seems most likely, the lefty trend continues when the strike and its consequences are forgotten? Well then let's get rid of the Beeb. If they wont change it's up to the licence fee payers and the government to make them change. Plenty of other news channels manage to present a balanced version of the news notwithstanding their political leaning.
Why not get your act together, Beeb before we do it for you?
