I am very grateful that we have Radio 3, 4 and various podcasts. The news is generally balanced and generally of high quality. I think that's reasonable contextualization for the comment.
- phatfish 8y agoAll media/news organisations have an agenda, but state sponsored ones are especially dangerous. BBC News is a government mouthpiece, I would rather the UK government didn't have a means to distribute their propaganda directly to my TV or phone or computer under the guise of a "friendly national broadcaster".
- CheckBlanket 8y agoThe stuff on YouTube is pretty ridiculous, but it did lead me to discover http://www.bbctvlicence.com http://www.bbctvlicence.com - an archive of the automated and increasingly aggressive (until the cycle resets) letters TV Licensing inundate non-license holding households with. I've got a personal stack of around 10, I've only lived here half a year. The BBC doesn't do themselves any favours in winning back non-payees with these tactics.
