| 09:49 UK time, Thursday, 20 July 2006
The Guardian: "The ´óÏó´«Ã½'s director general yesterday unveiled a restructuring package... designed to make the ´óÏó´«Ã½ 'the most creative organisation in the world'." ()
The Mirror: "Computer giant Microsoft has beaten the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to be crowned the UK's top consumer brand." (

yet more proof that the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is full of left wingers who read left wing papers
And the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is not bitter. As shown by the report "Poisoned PowerPoint attacks users" - which should really have mentioned that Linux and Mac PCs are not affected by this virus, only Microsoft PCs are affected and only Microsoft Office has this problem.
It was kind of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ not to mention it - or perhaps it was just a glaring ommision.
I'd rather see ´óÏó´«Ã½ the most impartial and objective news organization in the world but not only isn't that likely, it won't happen by merely an edict from the Director General. It would take a thorough housecleaning top to bottom by an outside agency such as a government commission. ´óÏó´«Ã½ has clearly been hijacked by a large group of people with their own political cause. They skew the news and all other programs in every conceivable way from the most blatant to the most subtle to advance their agenda as advocates. They have exploited ´óÏó´«Ã½'s once remarkable reputation and reduced it to a journalistic farce. Former greats of this once proud organization are turning over in their graves with disgust for what it has become.
I just hope that anyone in power who happens to read the comments on this blog realise that the blogosphere is filled with people like Mark (number 3) who quite frankly are fantasists. Only those with an axe to grind can honestly see any bias either way in the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s reporting of the middle east. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ is pretty much as it has been for years and years, though actually I think a bit more attentive to audiences than the remote auntie of old. Can any of the fantasists really imagine their beloved Fox News running a blog and including comments as unrelentingly hostile as those which get published here?

FOX, Sky, The Guardian, Telegraph etc all have blogs with pro and anti whatever views well represented if you take a look... and they all started before the ´óÏó´«Ã½ got on the scene, although I do welcome the beeb to blogs.
"unrelentingly hostile" is a bit strong - do you mean views that you don't agree with?
The Mirror report on branding puts Microsoft at No 1. I wonder how the poll was conducted. The question put could be vital in affecting the result as was illustrated some time ago on "Yes Minister". I am prepared to believe that Microsoft would be mentioned most but it stretches the imagination to think it was the most popular. Very many of those most familiar with Microsoft think of it with dislike if not loathing.
