BBC’s f***ed priorities

While BBC3 the channel for freak shows, such as F**k Off, I’m A Fat Man is protected, mainstream current affairs programmes have been told to wield the axe. Newsnight, with an annual budget of 8 million, must lose 20 per cent over the next five years.

Want to know just how bizarre their thinking is? Go read all of Jeff Randall’s piece on the state of the BBC. They are cutting news programming while keeping the little watched BBC3.

Its a bloated government bureaucracy so used to living off the taxpayer teet it has no clue how to manage itself.

Update: Jenny McCartney piles on the pressure.

One has to wonder that now that BBC radio no longer pays for appearances by pundits and that the TV pays far less if journalists and others have found their voice against the con that is the BBC.
