I just got in, put the telly on to see what's happening about the Mr
Moat story. Obviously I turned to the BBC as a good British citizen.
What I saw whas a recorded programme about parliament. Put Sky on,
live coverage, people on the ground, instant updates.


Why is that "better"?


Personally, I find it a right PITA when they cancel scheduled programs
to report on some ongoing situation that you known isn't going to be
resolved before the next "normal" news broadcast.


....and being expected to wait for such a resolution as if it mattered that
you should see it 'live' sic in this case. Stiil, it is 'bread and
circuses'. Diverts people from taking any interest in how the rest of us
are having out lives changed by those in power.

Slainte,

Jim
