Quasi elite broadsheets complaining the BBC no longer represents the popular views of hard working ordinary Brits because it makes Strictly and the Traitors instead of highbrow content about ancient Rome and Shakespeare is... one hell of a take.

That glorious sense of satisfaction also when it's finally, finally done?
Never had that either, just feels like I've gone through Hell in a small canoe and it's hours or my life I'll never get back, and all that's waiting for me next week is another fucking admin task.

Why is everything crap. Well, here we learn why Adam Smith was an early Marxist, in that though he had great faith in markets
He had zero faith in merchants
And the reason why, is why no one answers your helpline

So, the problem with the BBC is it's out of touch with the common people, so should be making highbrow elitist content for elites instead of the western hemisphere's most popular shows like Traitors, watched by a majority of the UK population?
Cool, cool, makes total sense

Not for glory
Self
Or war
But to take a stand
Against hatred, malice and a world devoid of love
To say, and stand, and die, to hold this thin and fragile and broken line
The boundary
Between light
And darkness
And that beyond this line
The shadows will not fall

John Le Carre was right about the British establishment and how the alumni of the best schools will sell out their own country for status and money and in particular a desperate desire for American attention

Overall, this bodes badly for the quality of film and television output. There has been a marked decline in it across most large studios of late, and telling markets "we are going to cut production talent in an output" is not something a healthy media organisation would brag about
This current trend for companies to only make shareholder profits by endless mergers and cost stripping is a stark, stark red warning klaxon that their underlying business models are shot. Shareholder return merger cuts show an org is prioritising dividends over output quality.
Paramount “said in a letter to shareholders it plans an additional 1,600 job cuts as part of a goal to achieve at least $3 billion in cost savings.”

Fridge is completely empty. Curse of ADHD and working 100 miles away twice a week. There is no time to fill fridges and when you do it just goes off again

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10.
This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.
