I'm sure the Republicans see it as harbor of leftist thinking and sedition, the fools. <br /><br />Leighton - cheers. I think the BBC is held in high regard by those who have worked for other networks because it values its staff and doesn't assume its audience are imbeciles. You also know it is impartial. I know some would say there is a left-wing bias, but its debatable. It simply doesn't dance the tune of its paymaster quite so much as others, which makes it feel more left-wing. It also reports adverse news about the BBC i.e itself. How many media organisations do that?<br /><br />Hope it works for you, which bring me onto Tim. I was led to believe the radio clips were open to people from other regions. I should have added a disclaimer that some people overseas might not be able to watch some of the video. Sorry! But there should still be much to listen to (I hope).<br /><br />There is a way around it but I'm far too much of a techie fool to fathom it out.<br /><br />bv - thanks for the link. I will check it out.

But they're under attack once again by people wanting to silence any voices and viewpoints that aren't in agreement with their own. If you care about seeing public broadcasting continue in the States, then check out this site:<br /><br />http://www.170millionamericans.org/BVLawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104434170537269673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-73328636583861702292011-02-11T12:01:30.741-05:002011-02-11T12:01:30.741-05:00Lovely post Dan!

We have often talked about the veneration in which the BBC is held. And I often listened to it to get the news on crackly short-wave radio receivers in many remote spots on the globe.<br />I had no idea this archive existed.<br />Thanks for telling me.Leighton Gagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788807904434180290noreply@blogger.com
