If people think BBC are bad, turn on Transfer News on Sky Sports News right now. Two dolly birds, a normal woman and a silent fella. Actually one could be a tranny - not sure.

I have just finished watching the Ascent of Man on Iplayer. Dr Bronowski was a "big brain" in the post war years. Below is an interview he had with Michael Parkinson absolutely fascinating. Parky is at his best he asks a question and then shuts up and let's his guest talk something today's presenters don't do. Oh Badger you can't really compare. This is an interview with a bloke who is not only highly intelligent but can clearly and entertainingly communicate his erudite thoughts more or less how he likes. Now, before I go to today's guests, I will say this. I am still in work and sometimes post on LinkedIn. I have been warned: no s-e-x, religion, politics, or race. Thus, with the usual Twitter melt downs when someone says something even the tiniest off woke (or on woke), imagine the guidelines imposed on today's guests. Celebs are trained to answer in ways that offend no-one. Consequence: a seriously dull interview. Witty interviewers have to fill the gap. People didn't watch Jonathan Ross for the guests, they watched him take the mick out of his guests.

I must admit I haven't watched any of them since Parky retired. You maybe correct about media training of celebs but the rise of the "celebrity interviewer" had already started back in Parkinson's days.

If I lived in Derry I could refuse to pay for the TV license on the grounds that the BBC insist on calling it LONDONDERRY.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

BBC website this morning has "Trump warned by judge" right up there in your face. Is it bias or just that Brits find anything to do with Trump more interesting than Biden's son

BBC website this morning has "Trump warned by judge" right up there in your face. I would make exactly the same judgement if I was the news editor concerned. One story is about an ex President who is the front runner for the GOP but facing a multitude of charges, including trying to subvert democracy. This is unprecedented and a major story. The other is primarily about the son of the current President, who has had a traumatic history and troubled past. That slurs are being made by political opponents of the President which try to link him, but without any evidence being presented in a Court, means this remains a story about political slurs. Should Biden be charged or impeached then the story would become more important. Right now it isn’t.
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |
