´óÏó´«Ã½

While Youtube is very popular that doesn't mean we want the same thing on the TV, Youtube is also free unlike the ´óÏó´«Ã½. I'd hate broadcasters to use Youtubes popularity as an excuse to dumb down output even further.

"Richard Sambrook, director of the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s global news division, admits that many people do not have the stamina to sit through a standard news bulletin or serious current affairs show."

oh dear.

The problem for the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is that it is seen as a mouthpiece of the government, as the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s ability to criticise the government is tied to the licence fee and the hold which governments have over future increases, and also its possible abolition.

An example of this was when the David Kelly story was developing, and the following consequencies of the Hutton Enquiry, resulting in resignations from the ´óÏó´«Ã½, but not of course the Blair Government.

The ´óÏó´«Ã½ is not impartial as it has to look to the unfavourable reaction and conseqencies of the current government. In the case of the Kelly suicide/murder and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ reporters associations with shady figures from MI5 and 6 and David Kelly, the ´óÏó´«Ã½ caved in, when the guilty parties were elswhere.
