BBC-truth or lieby Claudia Sonea

The UK State Television for which the British have to pay taxes, BBC is the main subject of news articles raising a lot of controversies. The recent scandal is that started in the Guardian that published a wrong information regarding an email that made the BBC fake because the director general, Mark Thompson, wrote in it "to get the gongs" in order to be more exclusive. The fact that everyone seems to forget is that the Guardian made a mistake and the truth is that the email authors was someone else, BBC News 24's morning editor, Simon Waldman, referring to something else. The only thing that the readers remembered was the initial information and not the corrected one, because for the wrong information there has been an entire article, while the correction was in a column with a couple of others. It is probable important the ratings and to show that they are doing something to earn the money they receive, but there is still a big difference between an independent broadcaster and one belonging to a mogul that would publish only what serves to their interest and need of money. The BBC belongs to the people and although sometimes makes mistakes, like the Guardian, there will always be more impartial than others. I think it is still the work of the private broadcaster that are trying to diminish the liability of the BBC, because some financial interest. In Romania is a State Television called TVR and although I usually don't watch it, I still would not give up on it, because it is the only one that can represent some difference in the way the country is presented to other people. I usually see there interesting shows on culture and Romanians. No matter how rubbish seem to be the state televisions, they should not be shut down because it keeps a normal balance between the private broadcaster and the fees. Surf and find some more. Enjoy!
