Crown green bowling gets more coverage in the UK. Quite right too!

Litmus test for me: there's no coverage of the nba, of the actual sportsing I mean, in the Netherlands. Not in the main media, anyways. Yet this is on all the front pages and then some.

Since Sky started buying up all the sports people are interested in, the BBC is reduced to buying NFL highlights and then sticking them on straight after Match of the Day. Worse, they've hired Mark Chapman and two guffawing fratboys to present them in a sub-Top Gear blokey knee/back slapping manner.
― Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Monday, 27 January 2020 10:41 (twelve minutes ago
Yeah, I like NFL but this show is pretty awful. Theres always an insufferably pompous intro to the weeks action also. Bring back Mike Carlson from Channel 4!!

i regret to inform you that the bbc are back on their bullshit
BBC: "Is it racist to say there are too many foreigners in Britain?"Starmer: "Can I just say how uncomfortable I am about that...

Jeremy Vine retweeting P3ter Sw3den and doing a section on Tradwives in the same week as the BBC is begging for support is an odd look.

I like Border Collies a lot and they are probably the strangest and most indefatigable breed of working dogs. Someone I talk to with two of them says even when he takes them on 10 mile treks they will be making subtle hints like dropping the dog lead in front of his chair to do it all again, within a couple of hours!

I don't like him btw. Think he was OK in 2008 before he was over-promoted.

He's saying that he cannot step outside of his own privilege to report from a neutral unbiased position. However he says it in such a cluelessly privileged way that it suggests he has little sense of what direction reality even lies in.

Sarah Sands has resigned from Today with 6 months notice. I'd enjoy a bit of BBC austerity blues if it wasn't for the certainty that Today will still suck just as much shit after she's gone.
