Journalism, in this capitalist world of ours, has to make money just like any other industry.

More's the pity, Steve, but time was you could make money at HONEST journalism, e.g. Ed Murrow & his ilk. What we have now is tabloid entertainment, not journalism at all- in most cases. The Beeb and Guardian are the best of a bad lot.

But I'm NEVER going to forgive the Beeb for discontinuing short-wave broadcasts to N. America- which I used to listen to regularly.
