" We get the television we deserve and what we are getting today is
c**p - visual and verbal fast food that builds in its consumers not
mental muscle but mental fat. "



Not quite sure why we *deserve* the rubbish served up. Maybe by having
watched stuff like Big Brother in demonstrably large numbers. And
unfortunately, as some American once said, no-one went broke underestimating
public taste. But the BBC cannot use this excuse, not being funded by adverts.
Good old Daily Mail, though. Can't even print a rather harmless word like
"crap" without asterisks. On the other hand, Barry Norman needn't have used
it.
