It still gets much of the same criticism as being too left wing. The current government is stacking the board with loopy conservatives and some odd balanced reporting requirements. That will all change if Labor somehow manage to pull off an election win. Here in Australia, the ABC is funded out of general taxation.

If the BBC cleared the schedules for live executions of immigrants and the rounding up of the working class, most of the maggot-minded, spittle-flecked crew who frequent those two chancers' blogs would still claim it was too liberal.

Well, not really. If the BBC cleared the schedules for live executions of immigrants and the rounding up of the working class, most of the maggot-minded, spittle-flecked crew who frequent those two chancers’ blogs would still claim it was too liberal.

Someone would almost think it's the silly season.

Dale’s commenters nod along in agreement like the Churchill dog and Fawkes’ hangers-on clap like brain-damaged seals as usual.

And yet when the government get into bed with Murdoch, BAE, Accenture, Capita et al, all those concerned citizens who wail on the BBC are nowhere to be seen.

The last BBC innovation was colour TV broadcasting.

What, you mean apart from helping to found the Freeview service, having one of the world’s most popular websites, being in the forefront of digital radio transmission…?

The Licence Fee is a pretty regressive tax as well.

It gives 365 days of 24 hour television, radio, attendant websites and the rest. Can you suggest anything else that gives such value for money for 130 quid? Go on.

I don’t believe that the BBC is such a good thing. It is establishment to its core.

And yet it consistently commands a level of worldwide respect and domestic public support that politician, newspapers and nose-picking internet video purveyors would kill for.

The last BBC innovation was colour TV broadcasting. The Licence Fee is a pretty regressive tax as well. It only seems to be poor people who go to jail for non-payment.
