conservatives calling themselves liberals has really screwed up discourse. cons. have a natural inclination for authoritarianism, they love telling people how to live.
this meme would scan for neo liberals (cons successfully rebranding to muddy discussion), but not really for classical liberalism.

c5 is paramount/skydance. they seem to pad out their psb requirements with comedy central, mtv & nickelodeon cast offs, but only stuff below a certain threshold.
itv always felt like it had a higher gameshow ratio but allowing it to become a single entity took some of the spark out of it.

news & current affairs is only a part of the org and one that's quick to attract criticism.
while i can see issues with that part, some phrasing on Today around Mamdani was less than neutral, i don't think shooting the patient because there are signs of gangrene in a foot is proportionate.

we do have 3D printed rockets & engines, as well as buildings & a bunch of other stuff.
although there are limitations. i've heard, 3rd hand, of someone printing a dashboard for their car, the whole panel.
they discovered that it had melted while parked in direct sun on a particularly hot day.

losing the bbc would bring us closer to the us model of barely polished shite across all broadcast media. all radio either bauer or global, all tv foreign owned - i doubt the next vaguely right leaning govt would take long to sell channel 4 off.
i'd argue it needs direction, not destruction.

it's fashionable to hate the bbc but it is the single biggest cultural organisation this country has had (outside of possibly the itv regions in the north & midlands between the 60s & 90s).
we've already had the state pull out of most of the cultural aspects of the country over the last 40 years

so, because of clear issues in the news department, you'd be happy for the whole thing to go?
feels like an over reaction to me to say that every other aspect of the corporation; radio, arts, sports, children's, local, science & nature and the rest because of both real & conflated issues in news.

relying on a database whos sources, biases & tuning you can't know, just because its operators say' trust us', is naive at best.

outside of that, the fact that the same spivs hawking nfts were now pushing llms made me wary, the energy & water usage of the tech quickly put my curiosities to bed.
the behaviour around acquisition of training data buried them further, plus the leaders of the sector are all just bad people.

a couple of times. i quickly found that i don't know enough python to debug cGPT's output & the image prompt to MJ was too generic to create anything beyond some abstract parallel lines.
recently an 'ai' tool helped convert postgresql create command to mysql, that did save time & i could check it.

there hasn't been a time in my life that the right weren't trying to get rid of the beeb. the right seem to deal much less well with any criticism it may get - not an emotion exclusive to bbc coverage.
it also meant the rest of the media needed to work harder, owners don't like spending that much.

it's possible for both to be true - look at how much the website was pruned back from the mid 2000s, or how much damage has been in inflicted on the local services - cowed, diminished, weakened until it can be removed to the howling applause of the people it serves & who, ultimately, own it.

anyone who has the means to buy a house out of pocket and moves out of a country solely on the grounds of tax can, in my view, be rightly called a parasite.
they'll suck a society dry but balk at putting anything back in.
the argument often comes over as a thought experiment played as fact.
