As for reading this blog, who knows? Unless you have a list of BBC IPs, or a Beeboid actually sticks his/her head above the parapet, I don't know if it's every possible to say for sure. What we do know is that others read your blog and will link to it elsewhere, which will gain attention, or will even file a complaint just from reading one of your posts. The BBC does take note of coherent, succinct, well-reasoned complaints, and will make corrections because of them. We've seen it happen.<br /><br />As for 'fact-checking', the BBC's track record on which way that swings speaks for itself. It would be shocking if More or Less was any different.David Preiser (USA)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00055001852090086556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-61282979931883960742017-04-16T09:23:59.463+01:002017-04-16T09:23:59.463+01:00Unfortunately there was a post overnight (seldom a...Unfortunately there was a post overnight (seldom a good time) from one of the newer claimed bbcphobes that seemed almost designed to allow them an incursion.

They make out its about facts and figures, but keep straying into matters of interpretation - and they always seem strongly motivated to undermine Brexit and Trump. Looking forward to their "Could North Korea really harm the USA" item...no doubt concluding that is very unlikely.

Now I hardly even listen to the BBC for news on the radio. They are not just biased, they are completely smug about it.<br /><br />The only option is to split it into two (to avoid a private monopoly like their current public monopoly), sell both parts off and make both the parts revenue stream pay-to-view. Then those that like the BBC can pay for it (as they do now) and the rest of us will be free to watch something else without being forced to subsidise the BBC.NickCnoreply@blogger.com
