LOL, I guess the goading never stops. And I never posted anything about your goading me, the quote you referenced was from Alex.

I didn't answer every single posting of yours because you have your opinion and you are not going to change it so really, why continue to argue.

Oh look, I have to repeat myself again, I am liable to hear about THAT again I guess, Oh my, whatever will I do.

I DID answer your questions, saying that the BBC and NPR are too of the BEST not the perfect News entities. And the single incident you expressed happened because of the same problem that has hobbled CORPORATE news entities in this country.

Politics was allowed to grasp control of the Media outlets and use its influence. Same thing has happened here, Respected and objective News Anchor Dan Rather was ousted as scapegoat by a COrporately owned media outlet. Why, because of a political party influencing a story.

Happens a lot in little dictatorships around the world. But letting it happen in countries like the U.K and THe U.S. is scary.

But it DOES NOT change the fact that the BBC attempts to stand fast against those forces attempting to change it. Is it PERFECT, Not at all, but it still works. Or do you think we should throw out anything that is not perfect and doesn't make mistakes?

(That was rhetorical, I don't need an answer. :-) )

Now, just to let you know will be the last question I answer about this. Just so there won't be any misunderstandings.
