      You realize Britain has private stations as well, right?

            But even the English ones get censored on an individual basis? I.E. if the article contains key words, what ever the CCP designates as key words, then it can be blocked by the great firewall, right?

              It's a subtle but huge improvement. The BBC reminded me of London in general -- stuffy, cramped, old. 800px width before, TINY pictures, dense text, etc.

              It's much better now.

                  It is when it's a news website.

                    Like Asher said, if it's about news then yes.

                    I only say this because in America at least, news readership of print media is dying very quickly. The last independent newspapers are posting record losses and the New Yorker even ran a story about how the market for print newspapers could be literally dead by 2043 (a date that seems rather erring on the side of ambitious rather than gloomy right now).

                    Online media journalism is taking its place, and I think the BBC is one of the best, though occasionally it allows its TV-chatty style to get out of hand. So what the BBC does with its web presence is of great interest to the news industry. (And geeks.)

                      I think he's constructed an argumentative alterego for the Off Topic forums and is having a bit of fun at the forum's expense.

                        Are you crazy?! Wiglaf created one of the top 5 threads of all time, "An old hag crashed into me and I gave her my credit card."

                          Again, I am amazed people are always quick to boast publicly whenever they use the ignore feature. Smugness doesn't make your dick any bigger folks.

                            Wiglaf is actually one of the few worthwhile posters on this site, even if you don't agree with what he says.
