Subject: RE: BS: BBC News
The trouble is when people sign in as GUEST, on the basis of experience, it's only prediuctable hat someone will jump to the (in this case erroneous) assumption that it's badly intentioned.
And that wilco thread, so far as I can see, wasn't censored, it was moved back to a thread where it belonged. Not censored so much as ushered.
Stuff the BBC exports to the USA? How does it do that? Presumably you aren't talking about the World Service, because I listen to that, and it's pretty good; and the stuff on the Internet doesn't appear to be targetted at any particular overseas niche.
That's a genuine question, Jed - presumably there is some BBC operation I'm not aware of. In which case, is it a question of the BBC selectively exporting rubbish, or some agency over there selectvely importing it? When we get rubbish from America on the TV here I assume that the decision to buy it, in place of the better stuff, is made over here.
