    Tell me, Scottie_uk: does the BBC Kool-Aid taste of sperm?

    Argue about the topic by all means, but please refrain from personal insults. Just because you don't like Scottie_UK's opinions, that does not necessarily mean that he imbibes male fluids.

    Just reading through the other entries in that blog will show you the blog's credibility. The link in the top banner to Sky News and Sport doesn't help to reassure the nagging feeling I have that it's Murdochian astroturf.

    In fact, the biases shown match the biases which Murdochs Sr and Jr share. Flicking through the entries hasn't turned up anything that Fox News disagrees with.

    Oh dear me...
    Delighted to read James Murdoch attack the BBC.
    "The expansion of state-sponsored journalism is a threat to the plurality and independence of news provision, The BBC is dominant," Mr Murdoch said. "Other organisations might rise and fall but the BBC's income is guaranteed and growing."
    That is the problem. The BBC, like the NHS, is insulated from commercial reality and is the perfect example of state sponsored journalism. Some of our left wing visitors manage to miss the central point that it is not BBC bias, per se, that concerns us so much as the fact that we are forced to fund it. Murdoch does us all a favour by flagging up the anachronistic and monopolistic position of the State Broadcaster. The sooner we have a Fox News here the better - fair and balanced would be a nice change.

    And astroturf it is...
