Matthew Norman: How Murdoch must be relishing this fiasco
And so the natural supporters of traditional BBC values look glumly on, too battered by 30 years of Murdochian assaults on excellence (”elitism”) in the sacred cause of mass-market mediocrity (”accessibility”) to do more than whinge, as I am doing today, as the last truly great entity in British life is denuded and devalued, its wrists cut and its lifeblood ready to begin slowly seeping away.

It’s truly horrifying. Word around BH is that this means no more history on BBC. Ever. Instead of, I dunno, sacking Graham Norton and getting rid of whatever shitty celebfest they’re flinging at the nation on Saturday teatimes.
