BBC News journalists on strike – 12 hours not enough – try 15 years?

BBC news has two problems. One is its inherent pro left, pro global warming, anti-Israel, pro Euro bias. The list goes on. But the BBC news teams are wrong on every issue that matters and do not mind showing their inner feelings. And two the BBC is grossly over-manned (should that be over-personned?). One news story can be covered by four different news crews (National TV, regional TV, local radio, national radio). Given that it is tax-payers cash that is being pissed away on this over-manning the BBC is (correctly) paring the odd job. Not enough but it is a start.

And so the unions are on strike for 12 hours. Have you noticed a drop in quality? Er..

Clearly 12 hours is not enough to make an impact. How about the news teams walk out for 15 years. Or better still forever.
