I think I need to stop thinking about this stuff for a while and be a bit more positive. <br /><br /> The BBC has always been split which means that the Play for Today dramatists found a home at the same time as the News Service was supporting the status quo and music editors were banning records. I do feel quite sad about the collapse of any sort of strong independent, investigative journalism in the BBC. They really have merged into a kind of Times/Telegraph flavour with a bitter seasoning of Kuenssberg bile. Perhaps I'll stick to re-runs of Cheers.<br /><br /> Incidentally, while I write this I'm watching the election night programme on ITV (we're flipping around) and Gerry Adams is being interviewed. They've totally screwed the video feed so his voice is several seconds out of sync leading to the hilarious effect that his words are still being voiced by an actor.<br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41931.33&return_msg=41931.30" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41931.33"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41931_34"></a><div class="message" id="message_41931_34"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time"> 9 Jun 2017 00:10</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 9 Jun 2017 00:15"></span></span> <span class="message_count">34 of 62</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41931.34">41931.34</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41931.30#a41931_33" target="_self">41931.33</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Actually that was very well put.
