This whole Brand/Ross thing....

Ok, i've never liked Russel Brand, and Jonathan Ross is funny sometimes but can be erratic. Yes, they have been twats over this prank call thing, they shoudl never have done it, it was stupid. But there's another issue here which is beign ignored, and that is that this whole thing as been whipped up into such a frenzy by the right-wing media, newspapers such as the Sun, The Times, The Daily Mail and so forth. These are all right-wing papers that hate the BBC, they view it as left-wing and they are using this to damage it. They have never approved of the BBC, they view the idea of using public money to fund broadcasting as idealogically at odds with their ideals. I mean just think, how many of these papers who have been really laying into the bbc are owned by Rupert Murdoch? I mean is political allegiances are hardly a secret are they? I mean one of his children owns bskyb after all....one of the BBC's biggest competitors.....

Anyhow, point is just be wary that the right-wing are using this to attack the BBC, that they motives are not pure. After all this girl Georgina who the phone calls were about is part of the Satanic Sluts.....and you can bet your last dollar that in normal circumstances they would forwn upon her and her profession. I mean when was the last news story in the Sun or the Daily Mail about goths that wasn't negative?
