A QUESTION OF BBC PRIORITIES

My colleague over on A Tangled Web, Mike Cunningham, posted this earlier and I thought I might share it with you.

This is the BBC at six o’clock.

News item Number Three,
The return journey of four dead British soldiers, all killed in Afghanistan, with the town of Wooton Basset at standstill showing homage to the fallen. Total time on air some forty-five / fifty seconds.

News item number Seven,
The search for, and election of, a new resident Witch for the tourist spot of Wookey Hole from three hundred cackling prospective witch candidates. Total time on air…. Four minutes.

As ever, the BBC follows the lead of our Government in both priorities, taste and political neutrality!
