BBC Madness

[STEED]

I have blown my top today, I am in a very angry mood that bloody PC BBC should be renamed the Muslim Political Correctness Broadcasting Corporation and here's why.

Even if it's the truth? Even if it's called for?

Do you comprehend where your attitude is heading?

DON'T LOOK AT ME

I have red BBC world for years, as well as following their Tv programs until they had been kicked out of local cable network last year. Even me feels like one year or longer that there is a very bad political shifting taking plac einside the BBC. They have lost a lot of my former respect.

I also do not like their new way of doing nature docus, wether it be about the universe, or wild animals, aor whatever. In past decades, BBC docus were very competently done, sometimes spectucular. but nowadays music and narration are doing a message drill towards a directions of sensationalism and human thoughts of competion, war and fighting that has nothing to do anymore with objective description. In earlier years/deacdes their docus described and left it to the viewer to think about what he has seen. today the thinking is pushed and manipulated into a certain directon I find hard to catch in words. The audience is no longer expected to think itself. It is given a (wanted) explaantion, and should believe in that, and feel convinced, and remain shut up - alternative thinking not welcomed.

I wonder why Britain is fighting so bitterly against the EU - if in many details it already is overtaking the folly of Brussel'S pc ambitions and programs. The story Steed is quoting is simply this: totally unacceptable.

Yesterday I saw Geroge Lucas' "THX 1138" on TV, for the second time. The parallels to the present escaped my awareness when I have seen it first time, ten or twelve years bago. Yesterday they left me speechless. Very good movie. It was depressing.

From my reading of the Daily Mail article it appears that the BBC were internally debating wheather any of it's newsreaders should have the right to wear religious symbols be it a crucifix a headscarf or any other religious or politcal symbol. I can't see any indication in the article that this is as a result of the BBC bowing down to Muslim anger or pressure. As the article highlights:

The BBC was debating whether a female Muslim newsreader should be allowed to wear a headscarf while reading the news when the issue over Ms Bruce's cross was brought up.

The news article continues with:

A source who attended the meeting said: "It was argued that BBC staff on screen should not wear anything which hints or directly points to a political or religious leaning and that the cross contravened this and should not be allowed."

Stephen Whittle, a former controller of editorial policy at the BBC said that the fact that Fiona Bruce had worn a cross while reading the news was a mistake.
"A newsreader should not let themselves get in the way of a story by wearing things that make the audience wonder about the newsreader's own position on a story," said Whittle.

It is understood, however, that Ms Bruce has not been asked to remove the necklace, and that the BBC does not have any official guidelines on the wearing of religious symbols.

Again, I can't see anything in the article to suggest that there has been a Muslim uproar or a raft of complaints into the BBC from British Muslims. And for the record I don't agree with the BBC if it did change it's policy to one where by it's newsreaders could not appear wearing an item of jewellery or clothing such as a crucifix or headscarfe. I would have hoped that BBC management had better and more important things to deal with at the Beeb.

We don't need no education!

[DanCanovas]

the BBC is a pathetic, openly anti-american, anti-israeli, pro-palestinian militant, pro-hezbollah pathetic organisation and Im ashamed to call it British! Hey us Brits have to pay £130 a year for this crap else we are taken to court! the corporation is a disgrace and id find porn channels more informative. :p

[CB..]

the trouble with getting rid of something you have to worry about what will replace it....if in the current pathetic climate of PC the BBC is having paranoid delusions regarding the necklaces of their presenters ....in that climate what do you suppose would be proposed as an alternative????

ultimately if you want to influence what is shown and how it is shown on telly the only thing that would work would be to switch it of entirely and throw it in a skip.....now then if half the country did that you see changes over night..telly is not just telly it's the principal tool of propoganda and population control available to the powers that be (or that don't be that is the question :rotfl: ).....

looking for big brother...look no further than the exact spot in your living room that Orwell predicted it would be...same format.. same message...same purpose:hmm:

sounds over the top.....but how do we know that isn't what were supposed to think when some-one suggest the same thing...and if we do think it's over the top....try to trace exactly why the thought appears over the top. and you might get onto the trail of bread crumbs..not that it matters...

if the BBC can depict the PC version of events and allow it to affect their choices regarding even minute unimportant details such as the jewelry worn by their presenters...then the public will accept it without question as correct..or enough of them to ensure it gets woven into the general publics way of looking at the world....and who elects the government??? the public does..
