    How do we know the depths of depravity of this organisation? After the Saville debacle I'd put nothing past them. Who knows what bungs and bribes they may be taking from various political sources?

    And is this limited to just the BBC?
    Is there another UK media organisation that is funded by taxpayers, and with a charter to provide unbiased reporting?

        Before the internet (yes ....) I sometimes bought the Telegraph and the Guardian. It was amusing: "police chief accused of incompetence"; "police chief rebuts accusation of incompetence".

        It is more than amusing: it should be part of education.
        Job motivation: how the powerful steal from the stupid.

          Even if it were not chartered, people should not have to pay (through their taxes) for biased broadcasts and publications that go against their own beliefs.

            Actually the communications act 2003 requires 'the preservation of due impartiality' from all licensed broadcasters regardless of how they are funded.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
