So far so good: BBC still showing Jerry Springer: The Opera tomorrow night. They haven't rolled over for the self-appointed censors of the Mary Whitehouse Corpse-Fucker Brigade or The Scum. On the subject of the necrophiliacs (who seem to use the Daily Hate-Mail as their primary source of reportage), should we consider it important that the only media organisation they mention on their first page is the BBC? Not even Channel 4, with sex and violence in Big Brother, gets such high billing?
Anyway, Bloggerheads has some good articles worth reading, about how much of the public fuss has been drummed up by a few busybodies at Mediawatch and The Scum, and why, with the Government allowing Murdoch to buy Channel Five it's more important than ever for News International to do what it can to bring the BBC down. No alarms, no surprises there.
Dartford vicar shocked and appalled by opera. What's great is that the ad bar on the right was offering tickets for the proper show when I looked.
