"The Beeb"

Many people in America can now get the Beeb ...as I do. I recently heard several people at work talking about how unbiased the BBC was...I kid you not. I didn't want to get into an argument because work rules actually forbid talking about politics in the workplace. Naturally this rule is many times broken. And the two people involved are regarded as not being particularly the brightest bulbs in the bank of lights. One is often referred to as Bubblehead. I like a lot of BBC America's entertainment programs, but even many of them are overladen with preachy leftist propaganda and pc plots. However there's always Benny Hill.

The Beeb was pretty decent during the 1990s before Tony Blair's New Labour government era. I remember in 1993/94 it produced a TV programme about the KGB's fellow travellers and spies among Western political circles, and in it it talked about the KGB's conspiracy and involvement in complicating the American civil rights movements. The programme also reported that a number of race riots in US cities in the late 1960s were the act of the Soviet intelligence service.

It has gone steeply downhill after 1997. Today it has an occasional drama worth watching, but forget about its news or documentaries.
