This is the funniest thread I've read in a long time - an anti-BBC rant written by a Murdoch lackie who works for The Times and Fox, both direct competitors to the BBC. The fact that it has had to be published in what amounts to a glorified blog, rather than a real media source just underlines how clearly Gerard Baker is attempting a hatchet job at the behest of his master, Murdoch.
I'm disappointed the sophisticated consumers of this board fell for such a transparent tactic by Rupert Murdoch!
There's a hell of a lot wrong with the BBC, but you sure as hell aren't going to get a fair viewpoint from Rupert! :D

Fox competes with the BBC?
In what country is that at?
BBC news doesn't even appear on the radar screen in this country.
The BBC doesn't need a rant from anyone to prove how biased and nasty they are.
Their craven acts speak for themselves.

Rubbish.
Realclearpolirics has an excellent reputation, and far more credibility than the BBC Al Quaeda propaganda machine.
After all, it was the BBC that claimed Americans troops were not at Baghdad Airport during the Iraq War, long after American troops had captured the place.
Turns out the BBC "journalist" who was filing that report, one fiber named Andrew Gilligan, was not even at the Baghdad Airport at all, when he claimed he was, on air.

That word "sophisticated" again. You mean "sophisticated like the BBC that pimps socialism and trashes America?

Who needs the Beeb when it is just the NPR or the CBC without the North American 'twangs'?
