.... yes but, no but, yes but, no but" said Vicky Pollard as reported on the Ten O' Clock News. The BBC were trying every so hard to be neutral and thought that Vicky covered all possible angles and view points. The only minor hitch was that she was very unwilling to commit on the important issues of the day. Is Jamie Oliver was a plonker or an inspired prophet of our time? Are standards improving or exams getting easier? She was however, most adamant that Hamas were not terrorists but simply militants.
Those who took the 'yes' side in the debates thought the BBC were biased for the very suggestion that 'no' was an answer that a sane human could take. Those on the 'no' side thought Vicky most insane for letting 'yes' cross her lips. The more discerning viewer realised that the BBC actually advocated the yes-no amalgamated view despite its flagrant violation of classical syllogistic logic. However, the vast majority of viewers simply admired the pouting woman sitting cross-legged on the desk who was quite good for her age. Woo woo!
But seriously... Little Britain is rubbish isn't it?
P.S. I was going to write a serious post about BBC bias or otherwise but then I was assailed but a recurring thought of mine: "What the heck is the point?" The next bulletin at midnight
