"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?..."
-Should there be a BBC? YES!
-Should such an organisation be free from commercial breaks? YES!
-Should such an organisation be cleared of expensive talking-heads? YES!
-Should the BBC be a beacon of truth in the world? Absolutely.
I am none too happy with the BBC-TV output, and its reputation for innovation has suffered more than its feather-bedding of executives recently.
BUT!
A stringently fact-based beacon, such as the BEEB, is essential. The world would become a much darker place without the BBC, and I am cognisant enough of the fact that the world is under no obligation to match my view all of the time.
