Is this the article? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4581871.stm or this? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4817974.stm

Can't see the BBC calling for a ban here.

Its in the reporting and choice of reporting. That is the kind of crap you are wasting your $$$ on for them to report. That wouldn't even get on the back side of a Times paper over here! Point proven - thank you.

Here is a classic given its own paragraph:

The researchers said there was no reason for long pointed knives to be publicly available at all.
They consulted 10 top chefs from around the UK, and found such knives have little practical value in the kitchen.

Also How can the BBC be profit oriented? It is paid for by a license fee. We all pay £130 pounds a year and this is used to fund it. The BBC doesn't have advertising in its programs. It doesn't get revenue from advertisers based on how many viewers they pull in. Yes they can and do sell production services and programmes but that isn't the same thing.

Read above - that is what I asked.
