BBC Parody is Sick
These people are sick. BBC has a ‘comedy’ called “Time Trumpet” which features “Terrorism Awards.” In this ‘parody’ they show airlines crashing into Parliament, a suicide bombing in Israel, and the assassination of Tony Blair. None of these are funny, not even a little bit.
“The clips have to be seen in the context of the whole series,” said a BBC spokeswoman. The show begins on BBC2 this Thursday, with the terrorism episode scheduled for week three. “It is a satire. The scenarios are so ludicrous that anyone who complained would be making a fool of themselves.”
I guess the BBC would think marching Israelis off to gas chambers would be funny too. I would imagine they would also consider seeing American soldiers killed at the Normandy Invasion funny. I don’t consider any of these worthy of a parody, its too close to what actually happened.
What more, they can not be trusted to tell the truth. You think Dan Rather is biased, the BBC is CBS on steroids. They are ultra liberal and seem to love Islam, even when, or maybe I should say, especially when, when Islamic terrorists kill people. I do not understand why the BBC is still around other than the money they collect in taxes every year from each and every household who owns a TV.
The BBC, in some prehistoric media logic, is supported by a tax paid by every British household that owns one or more televisions. This compulsory tax, paid by the rich as well as the poor, arrives every year as a bill for £116 ($183). If you don’t pay it (and only 7 percent fail to pay it), the BBC can put you in jail. The tax, which like all taxes is always going up, raises as much as £2.5 billion for the BBC every year (and because there are always more households, every year it raises more). Since the BBC itself collects it, nobody in government can reapportion it or redistribute it—the BBC, unlike every other public-broadcasting system in the world, is not only well funded but well protected from politicians.
Can you imagine what this country would be like if CBS had a virtual monopoly on the news and collected taxes from all TV owners to pay for their biased vitriol? With this virtual monopoly, the BBC can say and do just about anything they want, even to the point of being extremely insensitive to victims of terrorism.
