Jaded view of BBC
THE nadir of relentless "dumbing down" by the once-venerated BBC was surely reached at noon last Sunday. This was when the lead item on The Politics Show's news section reported solemnly on Gordon Brown's reaction to the death of Jade Goody.
I confess that I hastily switched off, unable to face the possibility of an ensuing debate on the merits of a state funeral.
