The Government has published its Green Paper on the forthcoming review of the BBC's charter.

The expectations are that the Government wants the BBC to be cut back from its present level of output to a smaller BBC and doesn't think that it should be showing populist programmes which could be shown on other television channels, programmes such as The Voice and Strictly Come Dancing. Should it really be showing the number of channels it now does when for many years there were just 2. Should it really have such a large website when it could be much smaller.

Call me a cynic (I have been championing the retention of BBC Three for a while now) but I think they will go ahead and do whatever they want no matter what any survey suggests.

 

Consultation is just lip service.

 

I don't see any problem with the BBC putting out some shows like Strictly. I think some of the tackier game shows could go. I suspect that losing the ÂĢ100M that Top Gear brought in has contributed to some of this.

The Tories are hell bent on clearing the way for Rupert Murdoch and hate any critique of their scummy self serving agenda.  Half the party are obsessive private sector zealots, the other half are looking for kickbacks from the private sector. They are so used to the hard right shared vested interests media barons, that I'm sure they see any opinion to the left of their own as illegitimate interference in the progress of the corporate state.

 

Voters didn't vote for it but the Tories don't care about voters, they care about Murdoch's support.  It's the ultimate payback for Murdoch's support.
