Afflicted by post-procedure pain I tire of the gradually brightening
ceiling and wearily put the telly on, at 7.50am, seeking diversion. BBC1 has a brown alpha-female (called 'nagger' apparently!) and a subservient white male wimp. They introduce a silly but seemingly harmless item about a dog that is pampered excessively. The dog's owners turn out to be two homosexuals. The next item is about a fishery owner who has banned Polish anglers. Nothing is said about why he has felt the need to reduce his customer base in this way, but there are many insinuations that he is simply racist. I go to the bathroom. When I get back the telly is saying that the BBC is going to reduce Christian programming and increase that of 'other religions'. I wonder if this means Buddhists and Sikhs will get a look in. It's time for the local news. The newsreader is attractive and has a lovely smile, and is black. There's an interview with a gay man. The story about the anti-Polish fishery man is featured, despite it being in Oxfordshire and this programme being Look North from Leeds. I turn the telly off and play some music. I idly look at the BBC news on my phone. I read about the recent bad road accident in Birmingham. It seems that "It is not known what caused the crash", and there are no details about the 'men' in the car that crossed the central reservation at 100mph and hit the other vehicle head on. However the innocent victim in that car is identified as a hard-working Asian with a large family. Strange that yesterday's papers said that the car that caused the accident was driven by an Asian drug baron who had recently been released from prison following a 120mph chase. Funny how the BBC missed that. Bill |

I find it more disturbing that when watching the first minute of a news program when they give the headlines and I think to myself it's another day when they are going to report nothing of interest and the crap they are reporting has been dumbed down to make it light entertainment. There seem to be a lot or journalist to journalist interviews with a spectacular lack of facts - just speculation. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |

Basically where they insert non news items into the morning *wake up to get up* slot. What on earth have choirs to do with anything other than programme padding? -- Tim Lamb |
