Maybe the BBC should be using some of its own funds to help pay for all the "needs" of the people they put on their programs

BBC used to be Ab-Fab, now it’s full of executive idiots, claims Jennifer Saunders - Telegraph

I have stopped paying for the BBC as I've had enough of 'em. As untrustworthy and self-serving as any of the commercial lot (more so sometimes) they can flip off.

The BBC dont do news any more, because by the time they get hold of it, it's already been around the interweb twice, so it's not new any more.
So they do comments instead. And Analysis

which is where the moaning comes in.

Are you sure you're not watching BBC Breakfast and thinking it's BBC News

It is the way they get punters on as they think that their view is somehow valuable or interesting, does not matter they have no clue what they are talking about.

Anything vaguely damaging to our planet like global warming scientists like Bono, Swampy or Bob Geldof get as much exposure as they want, anything anti Labour is supressed, anything anti Tory I promoted

But apart from that they're quite balanced

Can someone tell the BBC that getting people on to moan is not news

BBC news now seems to be an endless stream of utter feckwits dragged on to moan about something, usually how the government are not giving them something. Egged on with "what more do you think the government could be doing" style prompts from the newsreader.

Can they not find some natural disasters to talk about.
