    Man Utd, Man Utd, Man Utd tonight….

    That maybe interesting to Man U supporters, but is it really the leading story throughout the world today?

      If it reminds us how rubbish United are at the moment, then bring it on, I say!

        Yes, good Dazed. I got home from work and turned it on for my usual bias observation session at six. For goodness sakes, it was if Britain was on the brink of a nuclear war. It’s bloody game wherein two teams of immature men kick a round object about. But, as we al know, because the Left have destroyed religious devotion in this country, people look for it elsewhere. Sport, for the BBC, is the new religion!

          Check 1984. It’s all there. including the lottery. Keep everyone distracted with low-grade crap. George didn’t spot X-Factor, Strictly etc but, all in all, the boy done good.

          You could be right.

          ‘In Ozil We Trust’ has a nice ring to it.

      I have been following this, at least best one can given the MSM’s odd priorities.
      As with CAR during the Mandelathon when half the BBC were on hotel balconies in nice resorts, C4 deserves credit for a few staff with professional pride and integrity every so often.
      Can you imagine the politico-media circus if just one moppet from a favoured grouping was abducted by person or person’s not needing the full PR smokescreen?
      If they’d gone missing on a RyanAir flight to Korea, the BBC would probably be getting Sir Alec in to comment.

    WHY a TWO TIER NEWS service? Now Aljazeera is easily available it shows just how many news stories around the world there are. Not just of interest to those locals, but stories that at some point will impact us. E.g unrest in Eritrea causing immigrants flight into Europe.

    Now the bBC seem to have a correspondent in nearly every country and when you combine bBC world service and R4 there is quite a comprehensive view. But now comes the anomaly; when you see the 24h news and the main TV news you would think it comes from a completely different news agency. The world seems to shrinks down too, I do know this is an exaggeration, local things. e.g. This bit of news will embarrass the Tories or Cameron. There to my mind is a definite plan to limit the UK public to the news that they are exposed too.
