Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

Pictures of the BBC micro and monitor never seem real, almost too perfect.
The boxy, angular shape were a design classic that may never have been bested.
If computers looked like this, forever, I’d have been content.

I can’t help but think that news organisations, particularly the BBC, should’ve waited to find out the content of Nigel Farage’s speech before choosing to broadcast this nonsense, using an official Reform UK live feed.

Ok, enough.
The BBC should not have a ‘commercial content arm’ producing advertorials with the backing of the BBC brand.
Should do no more than license and promote BBC progs to wider audiences as was initially intended.

Accusations of bias actually have specific content that can be assessed. The left attack the BBC for justifying a genocide, the right attack it for having too many black people on screen. These aren't equivalent extremes that cancel each other out leaving only the enlightened centre.
