I suspected this article was actually political, so many of these types of stories are just commercials to fund liberals.
A good example more locally to me is the endless praise for Spotted Cow. Bad beer promoted to fund democratic political campaigns.
I hear you.
However, to me, sometimes there are little factoids inserted into the articles that, after verification, teach me something I didn't know.
Here's another example of something that I learned today.
There was a new commentary about the BBC's libelous editing of President Trump's January 6th speech that included the following fact:
It costs £174.50 a year to obtain a BBC license for a color TV. Technological atavists who are bargain-hunting can snag a license for a black and white TV for only £58.50 per year. For the year ending March 2025, the license fee raised £3.8 billion, 65 percent of the Beeb’s total income.
I did NOT know that the United Kingdom regulates the ownership of television sets. British subjects must file for a license to receive up-to-the-minute news via television. If they refuse to pay the annual license fee, they can wait for the daily newspapers, listen to the video-free radio, or go online and view websites.
But television requires and annual fee of $202.41 in today's exchange rate.
Who knew? (over here, at least)
