Unwanted Intercourse Be Upon Bill Clinton (Constructively Speaking)
Speaking of the BBC's coverage of Hurricane Katrina, "Bill Clinton, the former US president, and Sir Howard Stringer, chief executive of Sony Corporation, also criticised the tone of the BBC's coverage during a seminar on the media at the Clinton Global Initiative conference in New York."

"Mr Clinton said the corporation's coverage had been 'stacked up' to criticise the federal government's slow response."

Full article here.

Now for my CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, lest this thread get locked for a hell of a lot less than WHAT DU PERMITS ABOUT bu$h ON A DAILY BASIS:

Bill Clinton would do well not to be talking about the BBC's coverage of something that happened AFTER his happy ass left office, when he NEVER said a word about the 24/7 BUTTFUCK that the Amerikkkan Media was giving him for better than eight years. He has no room to speak of the BBC's coverage being "stacked up!"

It is disingenuous at best. At worst, it makes people wonder about the company he has been keeping of late.

Remember New Orleans.

2. from what i've heard on BBC myself
it all sounded about right on. BC is just another one of "them", all pigs feeding at the same trough. He was right the other day when he said that no one listened to him anymore; his supporters remember when he had a set. No, BC is part of the problem.

3. This is Blair screwing with the BBC again....he went after it
after the Kelly affair.

I listen to the BBC World Service several times a day...Newshour, etc. The reporter in NOLA was there from the beginning, professional and horrified at what he saw, describing the nitty gritty details. A more controlled version of Anderson Cooper. Definitely, NOT anti-US. The
analysis people did comment ont America's image in the world post-Katrina, and rightly so.

Frankly, I think the BBC has gone a little right sometimes--for example, today, interviewing a guy from the Cato Inst. about Bush's plans and how they will or will not be paid for. Whether his agenda can go forward---alarmingly, he said, "we'll know in a few weeks."

A FEW WEEKS!

They interview lots from the American Enterprise Inst. and also Brookings. I would prefer they do the right and the left at the same time. They don't identify AEI or Cato as being from the right.

It is nauseating to see Blair joined by Murdoch and Clinton. Esp. Clinton. He should know better...
