Claiming to be impartial and independent isn't the same as being impartial and independent but it seems that pretending to believe even the most unconvincing PR is part of the job.

How many different ways and programmes can they tell us that in ten, twenty, one hundred years the planet temperature will rise by a disastrous fraction of a degree. With concomitant floods, or droughts, sometimes changing every hour.You do not need to know your topic, just be able to read a teleprompt.<br /><br />Inform?

Grim reading.<br /><br />Scrobs - I think the BBC's problems attracting young viewers and the number of people who decide not to pay the licence fee may lead to some kind of crisis which cannot be fudged. I hope so and I hope it is soon.
