I Read The News Today, Oh Boy

Craig has made a breakthrough in Biased BBC's eternal mission to demonstrate that al-Beeb (as it's known) is the broadcasting wing of Hamas. His latest wheeze is to list all of the headlines about Israel on BBC News and declare them all biased. Brilliant. Can we think of anywhere else with a chippy bunch of supporters?

Craig, I think you're onto something here.

I have a particular fondness for Liverpool and decided to put it, too, into the BBC News search. Guess what?

It might have been European City of Culture last year, but it's just crime, sport, a rock band who split 40 years ago and exciting news on more ways to leave town in a hurry (though not by train).

Apart from the missing hiker (and he'd only been gone three teensy days) the only non-football, non-Beatle related good news story brought the delirious breakthrough of council confidence on a vacant shop.

Time for all Scousers to say:

Oi! Thommo!

I'm not paying your licence fee.

Ever!

(I know what's coming next)
