The BBC Rehashes MPAA Propaganda
,----[ Quote ]
| As a government owned corporation the BBC has a duty to educate, and be
| evenhanded in its dealings with subjects. Yet in a recent segment on their
| long-running ‘Film’ program, currently hosted by Jonathon Ross, the BBC ran a
| biased segment straight from the MPAA. The BBC on the other hand, believes it
| was fair and balanced.

Why promoting democracy via the internet is often not a good idea
,----[ Quote ]
| All in all, the world of international digital activism is much more complex
| that it appears on first sight. As much as I'd like hope that we are already
| long past the point where most Western governments, agencies, and NGOs
| operate on the assumption that “Internet=democracy”, I think that the field
| is still dominated by cyberutopians who do not see the inherent dangers of
| many cyberactivist campaigns; nor do they see how these campaigns may
| actually strengthen the governments they were supposed to challenge.

Beeb slammed for 'fawning' to Bill Gates
,----[ Quote ]
| BBC viewers have flooded the corporation with complaints over how it
| covered the launch of Microsoft Vista earlier this week.
|
| In one cringingly servile interview worthy of Uriah Heep, the
| Beeb's news presenter Hugh Edwards even thanked Gates at the
| end of it, presumably in appreciation at being allowed to give
| the Vole vast coverage for free.
|
| In other TV news items presenters excitedly explained how Vistac
| ould be obtained and installed - details courtesy of the BBC's
| website.
|
| But British viewers, currently forced to pay a £131.50 licence
| fee to maintain the BBC's "impartiality", were less than impressed.
|
| Scores got in touch to complain that so much was Auntie up Bill's
| bum that you could barely see her corset.
