"I deplore... the putrid state into which our newspapers have passed and the malignity, the vulgarity, and mendacious spirit of those who write for them... These ordures are rapidly depraving the public taste and lessening its relish for sound food. As vehicles of information and a curb on our funtionaries, they have rendered themselves useless by forfeiting all title to belief... This has, in a great degree, been produced by the violence and malignity of party spirit." --Thomas Jefferson to Walter Jones, 1814. ME 14:46

BBC staff protested at the forced resignation of the broadcaster's top executive, Greg Dyke, and staff pulled one BBC radio station off the air for a minute in protest.

Doesn't that mean fired? Why don't they just say fired?

Time to sell the BBC to the highest bidder!

The BBC should be delinked from the government and have to survive hand to mouth as PBS does in this coutry. Now it is the mouthpiece of the left-wing in Britain.
