| #2 Here's Sullivan's posting today: FIGHTING THE BBC: The beginnings of a protest movement against the BBC seems to be in the air. This week, the BBC released their own annual report. It was full of the usual self-serving pabulum and ignored the massive criticism that the BBC has endured for its pro-Saddam coverage of the Iraq war. It was widely savaged, and the critics included an influential Labor MP: Committee chairman Gerald Kaufman MP accused the governors of being "utterly gushing" in their assessment of the last year. He questioned how long the BBC could go on arguing that it should be funded by "a tax" as it "goes on shrinking, as it is shrinking and will shrink". The corporation has also been under political scrutiny following its public row with 10 Downing Street over a BBC story that claimed the prime minister's office "sexed up" a dossier on Iraqi weapons. Mr Kaufman said the BBC should sack Andrew Gilligan, the reporter who prompted the Iraq weapons row. He added that Mr Gilligan and other journalists should be sacked for writing what he called "contentious" articles for the newspapers. Meanwhile another Brit has gone to court to resist having to pay the BBC tax. http://www.andrewsullivan.com/ |
