I haven't rejected charges against the BBC, nor commented

mess the BBC is in.


and that, as they say, is the ballgame...



I find the obsession with the BBC boring, because BBC has
become less and less significant in the big picture of the world,
and that will continue, don't you agree?


no, i don't. the BBC has 150,000,000 listeners worldwide, not counting
its domestic audience, and its TV programs here in the states. it's
not as big as it used to be, but it's still influential. and when it
lies, it gives credence to lies. forcing it to admit its bias, as the
hutton report did, means that the far left, in spite of the BBC's
hiring of al jazeera newscasters, will be called on its lies about the
united states.

the fact you seem reluctant to admit, as a revisionist leftie, is that
the BBC itself both admitted it was wrong AND apologized. gilligan
lied. that's why he resigned.


Of course, that's the spin a right-wing ****tard like you would put on
it. Yes, he resigned, but never admitted to lying.


so he's an unrepentent liar. oh. by the way. his boss's resigned, too.

as to being right wing, i know you far lefties have a fundamentalist
belief that anyone who doesn't believe that uncle joe stalin was a
great guy is a '****tard', but we liberals believe in freedom, not
socialist paradise like you lefties.\

the executives covered for his lie.


No, they did not. This is another baseless assumption being made by a
right-wing reactionary twit who doesn't even live in the country in
question/


really? then why did his boss's resign? because they were tired of
their jobs?

and that's the end of the story. unless you can show me where the BBC
is lying when it said it lied, you got a problem.


If you can show a BBC statement with the word 'lie' in it?


yeah. in the fact that all the guilty parties no longer work at the
BBC. that's a pretty good indication, oh, great, revisionist leftie
puppet

Wrong again, Bob.

I use an RX320 in the house,


apparently you never actually USE these radios...


BBC WS SW and MW listeners were at 115 million
in 2002, DOWN 9 MILLION from 124 million in 2001.


gee. big deal. that's pretty much what i said. so you start by
agreeing with me...

So, shortwave isn't going to help in the long run.


how many BBC lies in the 'long run'?


As with passenger trains and, blimps, Bob, SW is
in declining in the big picture.


how many lies in the 'big picture'?


the BBC's audience is primarily 3rd world.


They claim their audience is the entire world-- what
they call "opinion formers" and "decision makers"
all over the world. For example:

"What is important in the States is what type of listener
we're getting," says Mr. Byford.


ahem. let me point out a simple fact:

the BBC does not even broadcast to north america. kinda forgot that in
your pompous bloviating, didnt you?



BBC's Indian SW audience has plummetted.
They're moving rapidly to TV, as will the rest of the
3rd world in a few more years.


as i said, you dont listen to shortwave or the BBC much...

Mark Byford's statement actually came AFTER the
BBC had decided to stop direct SW to USA. He made
lots of comments on the fact that they believed FM
rebroadcast of BBC was reaching the right target,
and that was one of them. They even claimed that
their US audience numbers were increasing due to
listeners on FM.

On Planet Earth, it's easy to recognize that
folks who use words like "Bloviating" are...

what is 'less significant' in a world where the BBC is the leader? and

the BBC itself admitted...it lied.

if you'll permit to say:

Bull****.

the BBC quit broadcasting to NA several years ago.

He made
lots of comments on the fact that they believed FM
rebroadcast of BBC was reaching the right target,

which had zip to do with the thread at all. the BBC does not use FM on
shortwave. those of us who DO shortwave kinda know that...

dontcha love it when guys who are too stupid to know that the BBC lied
cant even go to dictionary.com and read:

blo·vi·ate

To discourse at length in a pompous OR boastful manner (emphasis
added)

in your rather sorry state, lacking all credibility, your boastfulness
AND pompousity are a poor substitute for your pathetic knowledge...or
lack thereof...of any aspect of the BBC, shortwave, or international
broadcasting.
