“I love BritBox”

Great programming top to bottom. I have been watching many mystery offerings and I am delighted by the quality, the obvious craftsmanship, writing, settings, in short all aspects of production. I only wish US tv was as good.

“Please Ban BBC!”

Wish I could give them zero stars! It is clear that the BBC has an agenda misaligned with professional journalism and proper codes of conduct. Unwilling to call Hamas a terror organization, unwilling to print the truth about who attacked the hospital in Gaza (not even sharing all the evidence with the world). Please stop lying to the world and start practicing ethical journalism.

I used to read BBC news on mobile phones every morning, however when you scroll down through the many articles, spend time reading an article, then hit the back button to continue you are taken back to the top of the page. This means you have to scroll back down to find out where you were. This may seem like a small issue, but if you read 10 articles it is painfully long. I like the BBC, so I took the trouble to file a long report with them twice in the last 5 years - which was ignored. So I am filing it here, ever hopeful they will do something.

It is widely known that dog thefts have increased drastically over the last year. To advertise the fact that a working dog has just been sold to America for £23 thousand, not just once but stressed a second time I find to be totally unwarranted and alerts dog nappers to the value of these dogs. Totally irresponsible reporting. Perhaps the BBC would care to put out a public warning to alert owners of the potential that their dogs may be at risk.

I don't know what BBC.com have done recently but their download speeds are now appalling. All other news media are fine - CNN for example loads in a Jiffy but I now select other web sites while I wait for the BBC web site to load. Even selecting different articles is a chore!

I used to be a big fan of BBC coverage but find over recent years it has deteriorated. It has very little analysis but rather concentrates on political tittle tattle without any significant insight into issues. I don't like reporters talking to each other without any real input from external experts.

A Clan Called Judah is set to obscure Hollywood hits like Dark Jaguar in Nigerian theater profit

A Nollywood film has crushed film industry records, turning into the main Nigerian film to procure 1bn naira ($1.1m; £900,000) in homegrown theaters.

A Clan Called Judah accomplished the noteworthy accomplishment in only three weeks.

Its maker - Nigerian entertainer, chief and maker Funke Akindele - has expressed gratitude toward her fans for the achievement.

"Much thanks to you Master! Much thanks to you Nigeria! Much thanks to you Ghana!" she posted on Instagram, gathering large number of congrats.

Promotion

The record concretes Akindele, 46, as Nollywood's most noteworthy netting chief.

A Clan Called Judah is set to obscure Hollywood hits in Nigerian theater profit, including the acclaimed superhuman film Dark Jaguar: Wakanda Everlastingly, which recently held the record as the top-earning film in the country.

"This accomplishment isn't just about numbers; it's a demonstration of the force of narrating, social pride, and the immovable soul of Nollywood," the film's merchant, FilmOne Diversion, said on Instagram.

It has hailed the film as a "social jewel".

The organization likewise lauded Akindele, saying her obligation to narrating has "scratched a huge section in the dynamic embroidery of Nigerian film".

A Clan Called Judah has gotten rave surveys from the two pundits and fans and is luxuriating in high evaluations on film survey stages.

The film - which depicts a plan to ransack a shopping center by a single parent and her five children engaging monetary difficulty - was enlivened by Akindele's late mother, whom she likewise devoted the film to.

It is a most biased news organization that pretends to be independent. Still lives in the old mentality of old British Empire. Only shows negative news of the rest of the world. I came to this conclusion after reading it for 7 years in a row on a daily basis.

(bbc.com doesn; t exist. It's bbc.co.uk)

Oh gosh... it's 'The Public'. We'll have none of that here.

It's the BBC. It's an institution. It's funded in a UNIQUE way. Don't question it.

Intro

Once upon a time, there was the BBC. And it was the only thing available. And people looked upon it, and didn't know any different. It did TV, and radio. Then the internet was invented, and the BBC had several long meetings. And decided it should have an internet presents.

Someone told them it was a presence' not presents, and they had several more long meetings, and decided that they should have an internet presence, not presents.

The BBC traditionally does other stuff apart from the internet, but this online thing is becoming quite popular. The beeb hasn't really figured out how to do audience participation (nor does it want to), altho it's news site does look lovely and dull. (this is an organisation that has 30 minutes of meetings everyday to decide how to be cool)

Background

The BBC is: severely up it's own a___ (UIOA). The BBC makes the most interesting or potentially exciting articles tedious, so you click back' after the first couple of paragraphs. It would be useful for the Beeb to have a time monitor on it's pages. Not to see how many clicks an article gets, but to see how soon after the click, the reader gives up reading and clicks back'.

You are not good enough for the BBC. It is the BBC's job to educate you from your current pleb level. Unless you're retired, in which case you're better than other people, and may be good enough for the BBC. The BBC is a safe space for you to learn about the dangerous parts of this world. Such as "slang", and "the internet".

The BBC

Parts of the BBC are loosing the plot as seemingly per the media industry (depending on how much attention you pay to the media industry'). But they are the mee dee arr, pinch of salt etc.

They are funded by the government. The money comes from you, but the penalty for not paying is prison, and the government ensures the prison. So the BBC is funded by the government. Paid for by you, but ensured by the government. That means the BBC won't say anything nasty about the government, because then, the government say "oh no, we're not guaranteeing your income". The gov't also won't abolish the license tax fee, because then the BBC won't say nice things abut the gov't. You scratch my bank account, I scratch yours.

(moderately) Left wing that looks like right wing. A supposedly free love' organisation, that has a pristine sensible image.The opposite of the Daily Mail. The Savile episode may be relevent for the fact that aunty is not as comfortable a relative as you might think. Moderately left wing, but slightly less irritating than the left-wing Huffngton Post, which shadowcensors *

*shadowban/shadowcensor=log out, check your comment is still visible (anywhere on the net)

The BBC is keen to point out that things you thought were crap, aren't crap. The BBC defines this as 'opening your mind'. It's also called being liberal'.

Lots of sentences the BBC prints, seem to be directed at people who have absolutely no idea what is going on, and have zero knowledge of anything to do with the article they just clicked on. Eg. Caption on an online article: "social networks have faced criticism". I might write an article for the BBC. It will be a long, "in depth", moderately unreadable article on the Amazon rainforest. At the end it'll have a picture of a tree. With the caption: "this is a tree".

The BBC's news flavour is sanguine. That's what you get when you know your income is guaranteed, and not dependent on adverts, sales, or program quality. "It's ok. Everything is ok. We've got our money, so it's ok".

Comments

On the majority of news sites, the only decent information comes from user comments. There is a reason that on the BBC you are only able to comment on around 10% of the articles. That would mean. Allowing, THE PUBLIC you, the great unwashed to air their views. And that just gets messy, and is definitely not inline with the image the BBC wants to portray. YES, you pay for it, but god, no, don't Have Your Say'. On some of the HYS's (which are a nightmare to navigate around, being BBC standard', and not like'normal message boards'. And apparently You' is You, which is tricky if someone else decides to have the username of You'.) half the comments have been removed due to breaking the house rules'.

The BBC website DOES:
-tell you when a comment has been deleted, unlike the daily mail, where there is no trace.

The BBC website DOESN'T:
-let you comment on the majority of articles, and is also strict in that you can't submit a comment to an article, where the comment is about a different article
-allow you to find your own comments. Go figure. (the bbc would never condone anything as crude as say. Being able to find how upvoted/downvoted your OWN posts are)

Why is the BBC stricter on non-article related comments, while the DM is generally more leniant? Well, the BBC has it's income guaranteed by the government (essentially a public-owned service). The DM relies on user engagement' to sell it's product. The BBC news site is also popular with retired types, who have more time and are more inclined to report "non house rule" comments (the BBC is popular with old people. This may be because, older people want to FEEL that their news source is reliable, whether it is or not. They don't want to have the effort of wondering if they should question it. Varied user comments would unsettle them)

If you're quick enough to have read them before they are removed, you'll realise that most of them are normal conversation, which the beeb deems to beer"not up to standard" for their site. If you see them before they are removed, they are basically the good parts of a conversation down the pub. The pub is terribly' low-brow, though, not inline with the BBC cultivated image at all. It does explain why the flavour of the comments on the site is."above board" all the interesting comments get removed. If you want a chance at an off-topic comment remaining, try putting something positive about the BBC within the comment.

The have your say section has it's fair share of middle-englanders, who words like excellent' ("The BBC is an excellent source of news") and twaddle' a lot and the bbc website is more than geared up for them. If you want lively, vigorous, varied debate, the BBC is not the place for you. As much as I hate to admit it, try the daily mails website. At the BBC, we will have considered, calm. BOR-ING discourse specifically of the matters at hand.

We encourage discussion, but not "too passionate/enthusiastic" discussion. This is the BBC, of course. Your licence fee provides enough moderators, thank you. There is more moderation on the net than you think.

HYS is only available on very select stories. It's quite telling that often many of the top-rated comments have been deleted by moderation. If you comment on a different story than the one the HYS is open on, expect a deletion. "You vill comment on ze story in hant". Said in Her Majesties English, of course.

Dear BBC. Are. You. Aware. That when you remove a comment from your website, the internet has things called "other websites". Where the comment will probably get published. With stronger terminology. Possibly with the phrase "f__k the BBC" somewhere in the text. Possibly.

The lack of commenting could be quites#1te, tbh. Journalists have been known to get their facts' wrong, and if there is no immediate way of correcting this, then I believe what you have, is #fakenews. From the BBC of all places. And it's worth noting that the BBC slant on stories does NOT reflect public opinion. Income guaranteed by the government, it reflects the opinion that the government WANTS the public to have (just"be calm"). Left wing slant, whatever you do, don't OFFEND anyone. (someone can be stupid, just don't CALL them stupid. The beeb definitely doesn't call a spade a spade). The BBC is quite influential, you see. Can't have it saying the wrong' thing. No no.

To the users be NICE. Remember, it's ok. We've got our income guaranteed.

Brexit has shown just what a propaganda machine the British Propaganda Corporation is. Propaganda that you obviously can't comment on. Because most of the "articles" don't have comments sections on them.

Oh gosh... it's 'The Public'

The BBC is probably known for 3 things. Eastenders, Top Gear and David Attenborough. Eastenders is just s##t, they've now lost Top Gear, and David Attenborough has just been poached by Netflix. Freeview now gives you 50+ reasonably decent channels. BBC3 has just been taken off the air, (The Beeb couldn't afford to keep BBC3 going. It's blatantly obvious that the corporation has run out of money) BBC4 is on air 7pm until 4am. So for £150/year, you get 2 1/2 TV channels. Apparently they also do some radio.

Good going, beeb. While you're at it, don't commission The Simpsons. And censor any comments about Jimmy Savile on the 'have your say's'. But the band "faithless" once had a record out that mentioned BBC2, so mention that. To the users - be NICE. Remember, it's ok. We've got our income guaranteed.

With regard to television, my opinion is that, certainly for films, broadcast TV is not the future for viewing. Channels paid for by advertising r4pe films with badly timed adverts. The BBC doesn't have adverts? Sometimes... you WANT to pause a film, to get a cup of tea. For films, broadcast TV (advert channels mainly, the BBC can't afford any decent films) is important, but not the future. Having an EPG (electronic program guide) is important. For general viewing, until they reduce the value of freeview to pursuade people to pay for subscription services (Sky, etc), channels like Dave are moderately entertaining. And don't forget the sentence that will make you change channel - "new drama from the BBC".

We would like to see you as a independent journalism news channel, the views you put out or the news you telecast are completely biased depending on who IS FUNDING YOU. Change That - be an independent body and show the real facts and real news. I think you must be getting enough feed back after what Sunak has told about you.

Lucy had to be one of the worst choices of representation for the BBC. Similar to the Elon Musk interview, the BBC continued to lie and fabricate evidence in order to support their agenda. This is the worst kind of journalism, used to brainwash the masses into believing a certain narrative. In addition, the BBC carefully cuts out segments throughout both the Elon Musk and Andrew Tate interviews in order to fit the narrative that they are pushing. The BBC are a disgrace and I am sure that once Andrew Tate will be cleared of his charges, someone will pursue the BBC legally due to it's urge of defamation and false propaganda. They will gladly support the LGBTQ who are globally brainwashing and grooming children who are not even old enough to make decisions for themselves, but will attack the idea of free speech and pro-male/female conversations.
