Hey think yourself lucky!

I created a thread which I was pretty darn proud of. Abuse just a quarter of the scale to this and it was gone without a trace! (Chucky basically saying boo to a couple of posters as he does).

And I had something like 13 thanks in the time it was up on the initial post....I was going for a forum record, HMPH!

well done :T

judging your life on Thanks on an Internet forum must be very satisfying for you. keep it up :eek::eek:

I agree with all of that - I'm not one of the ultra-free-market folk who thinks that even the BBC can be "regularised" by free market forces. I think it has a role, and it does it very well the vast majority of the time.
If I do grouch, it's on two counts:
1) Infatuation with big names and cheapening stories. Why, oh why, for example, is Panorama fronted by Jeremy Vine?
2) The BBC has become excessively politicised (harking back at least to the whole David Kelly affair), and it does seem to run a political bias against the Conservatives. As I mentioned, I actually think this is a combination of market forces - effectively a product of it being easier to get good stories from the government spin machine - and a paranoia about Conservative response. I would rather it were not so.

i disagree that the BBC is excessively politicised. the content of commercial television is equally political although in a less obvious way. for example, the obsession with property shows (property ladder etc). they are political although they are presented as neutral.
