Re: [Trisquel-users] The BBC

[nux]

I think it's stretching it to claim that any media channel is telling the  
whole truth. Even those who seek the truth have to beware of their own  
desires and bias.
Rather, I go for viewing as many different sources as possible and weighing  
up the evidence (as much as that is at all possible).
So I would consider RT, NYT, the BBC, the various 'broadsheet sites',  
globalreasearch etc.
And the output of all of those is then filtered through "what their known  
political stances are plus the previous record of behaviour of any  
Governments/nations and organisations".

All that said, my biggest gripe is not being able to access Radio4 Extra and  
the cricket commentaries, when they're on - neither of which are "news" or  
subject to time restricted DRM. It's an issue of being able to access what,  
as a licence payer, I've already paid my bit towards. I also think that  
distinguishing between the two is the best way forward. In these days of  
paranoid copyright fanaticism, arguing against the DRM built in to the  
iplayer, however odious it is, is likely to fail. Whereas arguing for the  
right to access "live" broadcasts is a much stronger argument as the DRM  
argument doesn't apply.
