I hate the fucking BBC and, despite some people defending it , i'll be glad if its news service is decimated. It is, IMHO, simply the government propaganda machine, cleverly disguised as supposedly unbias and impartial. Glasgow Media Group (and others) has done several demolition jobs on its supposed objectivity. He who pays the piper, calls the tune and has been since Donald Reith's time. Its governing body are 12 government-appointed people chosen by the prime minister and the Department of Culture, Media and Sport from a short-list of suitable applicants, composed of present and former representatives of state, corporate and institutional power. And we are expected to pay a tax to support it, (which in theory is a price for information)Now we are presented with a version of lesser evilism…if the BBC goes then our media will be controlled by Murdoch. The Fear Factor.But does it matter since Sky, Times and Sun determinemuch of the political debates, anyways. Even the SNP went cap in hand to Rupert the Bear. Personally, I couldn't care less what they do to the BBC.
