The BBC's coverage of the Athen's...Agreed. The BBC's coverage of the Athen's riots, indeed the whole of the Euro crisis in Greece, has been disgraceful.<br /><br />It's almost as though, by ignoring the crisis in the Eurozone, they can pretend it isn't happening. <br /><br />When you have to turn to Russia Today to find out what is happening in the EU, you know that the BBC in its current format is doomed. It is no longer a serious news broadcaster; just an extension of the celebrity culture that has been created in the UK to keep the sheeple quiet.<br /><br />Newsnight, for the first time I recall, devoted a lengthy section of the programme to Greece.

The BBC nails its colours to the mast, yet again.DeeDee99https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753473473887381622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6693950082152211516.post-53141619450576168102012-02-13T20:57:58.262+00:002012-02-13T20:57:58.262+00:00This is of course, the usual MSM approach to `News...This is of course, the usual MSM approach to `News` events that don`t entail `The events` portraying the `correct actions. We must remember there is `NO` critisism allowed (Barrosso`s declaration!) of EU, `Troika` determinations...All in the interest of Unity and the Euro.<br />After all, it might just give the `indolent`here the wrong message eh? Any ideas? Best to just keep `em emotionally well purged with the`ceeleb/grub.
