The connection between the ...Well, that's a given. The connection between the two issues is that, over the past decade, current affairs coverage on the BBC has been cut to the bone, while spending on 'entertainment' has increased. The story of Turkish orphans would have once been investigated by a programme like panorama ( a programme, incidentally, that has been reduced to half hour on a Monday evening). Was it even covered at all on the BBC? I bet, even if it was, it was relegated to From Our Own Correspondent with the wonderful Kate Adie. (I'll bet she never got paid 6 million.)<BR/><BR/>Boycotting Turkey as a holiday destination would be a better move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-8905749815680470252008-11-05T22:18:00.000+00:002008-11-05T22:18:00.000+00:00Well I suggested above they object to The Turkish ...Well I suggested above they object to The Turkish Embassy. I still think it's a good starting point. <BR/><BR/>Any human being paid six million a year is overpaid whether they make crank calls or not.<BR/><BR/>I should imagine the priority of the BBC staff is lining their own pockets and advancing their careers. As indeed it was before anyone fucked Ms Baillie. The BBC might at the higher levels be a bunch of fat cats but as blights on the consience go it's a bit lower on the list than horrifically abused children.Clairwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503239355248016287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18009508.post-49421256888138870092008-11-04T16:09:00.000+00:002008-11-04T16:09:00.000+00:00where are the 30,000 objections over these poor ch...<I>where are the 30,000 objections over these poor children? </I><BR/><BR/>To whom should they object? Might I suggest that license payers demand to know why there is no coverage of this issue by the BBC? Of course, this might have something to do with the fact that the BBC have recently made a number of journalists redundant, some of whom were probably foreign correspondents. But we know where their priorities lie, don't we?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
