Capturing the Beeb
I have to laugh at this description of the BBC from London's Times:
The Beeb has been accused of, among other matters, fanatical suspicion of the motives of those in power and unrelenting hostility towards the Conservative Party. It has been attacked for a wholesale scepticism about capitalism, combined with a weakness for quack environmentalism and health-scare speculation over hard science.
The Instapundit has a longer quote and even more on the BBC, but I just liked the description. So apt, so true, so guaranteed to elicit frothing denials from the BBC's core audience (in England, no doubt, but especially here in the US, over at NPR and in the Democrat Party).
Comments
The really amusing thing (to me anyway) is that when I was over in London recently, I never saw a TV tuned to the Beeb. All the TVs in hotel lobbies and pubs and the like were tuned to Sky News.
