Well I am getting more and more frustrating, I pay my licence to hear right wing politics, is ok for BBC report racist problems, sample like program Question Time more and more people are clapping just for the sake few right wing propaganda. Most of repeat TV shows, every single day news from courts somebody send to jail, murders, police cops. Is cheap pop culture. There some not bad about BBC I would give good credit on BBC4 or radio4.
But the question I think BBC going to far, is peoples channel not "Dragon Den", Alan Sugar and so on crap celebrities.

The opening post is incomprehensible. But I did agree with the opening statement, which proved absolutely correct over the course of the post; you were indeed "getting more and more frustrating".

You should re-write what you want to say, but take some time to articulate yourself.

Oh come on, it wasn't that bad! Sure, she got a little confused in terms of tense, but considering the context I don't believe what she's typed was at all unintelligible.

As for BBC, what did you expect?

Ok, lets go through it, and see if you can turn that stream of limited consciousness into a series of cogent ideas that we can consider. Genuinely, I have no idea what this person is trying to say.

"I pay my licence to hear right wing politics,"

Right. Is that actually supposed to read 'I don't pay my licence fee to...'

"is ok for BBC report racist problems"

Is this supposed to be good or bad?

"sample like program Question Time more and more people are clapping just for the sake few right wing propaganda"

I get the second half of this statement, but what, precisely does 'sample like program' mean? Having read through the post again, I still don't know.

"Most of repeat TV shows, every single day news from courts somebody send to jail, murders, police cops."

So is this a complaint about the state of BBC News broadcasts, the re-airing of old as opposed to new programs, or a mixture of the two? Either way there is a vast and unexplained intellectual and conceptual leap being made here.

"Is cheap pop culture."

Is that an unfinished question or a statement? Is cheap pop culture what? Or perhaps the person meant to say 'It is cheap pop culture'?

"There some not bad about BBC I would give good credit on BBC4 or radio4"

At last, a statement which actually makes some sense! The person likes Radio 4 and BBC 4 (ironic given that both include repeats, News broadcasts, and drama regarding crime, punishment and the police - all of which I guess, though admittedly cannot be sure, that the author claims to dislike.

"But the question I think BBC going to far, is peoples channel not "Dragon Den", Alan Sugar and so on crap celebrities."

And again we are back to incomprehensible gibberish. Is the problem here that the BBC makes popular programs that people actually watch? How terrible of them to broadcast television programs which fulfills the BBC's mandate to broadcast items with mass appeal.

To be honest there is nothing really that wrong with the BBC. It pisses me off that in their crusade to remain impartial they provide a mouth-piece for unrepresentative nonsense (like climate-change denial), but their mandate is to provide a broad spectrum of programming in an effort to cater for everybody. The BBC is, to paraphrase Marcus Brigstocke, a bus not a taxi - it will take you, and the rest of its many passengers, broadly where you want to go - it does not exist, however, to cater to the individual. It will not take you from place A to B, at least not without stopping at lots of other places first and taking a lengthy route to get there.

If you consider the BBC in that manner, from the perspective of what its mandate is, then like I said, it isn't that bad. OK, so I don't watch The Apprentice, Strictly Come Dancing, or any of that shit- but I do watch a lot of the BBC's comedy, I enjoy some of their dramas and factual programs. The question you have to consider is why should may tastes, which the BBC partially caters for, outweigh the tastes of the people who watch Strictly or Alan Sugar, and should those people's tastes be promoted above mine?

The answer is no to both.
