BEEB LOGIC

 I was trying to install 4 windows yesterday and took a little break for a cup of coffee and the news. It was the Beeb and I know better but I still got a kick out of their relentless, desperate effort to portray everything they hate in the worst light possible. It goes without saying that Orange Man Bad ruled the day but they also wanted to beat up and assassinate poor President Putin for his wanton aggression for merely providing aid and comfort to those poor ethnic Russians left behind when the Ukrainians rolled over them at the breakup of the USSR. Well, I thought it was amusing....

Anyway, the Beeb elects to portray the Russian acts only by the light of pure evil and malice but as they talked it struck me, you know who the real aggressor was in both World War I and World War II? Yep, Great Britain was the one who declared war on Germany! They declared war first! They started both Wars!!!

I think Marshall McLuhan would be appalled by what has become of television and especially the news. On the gripping hand, neither can really stand up to reason or rational thought. Which brings to mind the 10 mile long recumbent 'statue' of a man that Spider Robinson wrote about in one of his tales from Callahan's Place.
