Lord Reith's BBC was a landmark in broadcasting history. At one time it was one of the UK's greatest assets. Sadly, very sadly, it has long since passed its "sell buy" date. (Aren't you on a different continent?) Not always! So what is the alternative - and is it fair and balanced? A free market in broadcasting, much as we have with newspapers.. Within that I would like to think that there is room for a fact based unbiassed service like the BBC or PBS. I guess you haven't seen a British newspaper for some time! Wasn't the last revolution that The Graunaid got a spell-checker? Unfortunately I do not think human nature can, or has, maintain(ed) that level of detachemnt over the long term. |
