Winter Olympics coverage

Josh, do you give money to Sky? They're loads worse than the BBC

I don't - genuinely.

Discovery Plus (TNT) is frickin ace and has pretty much every sport covered on demand or live streaming.

Yep as I said above, they have the rights for this. BBC used to have this, specifically the 2012 Olympics come to mind. But TNT have spent more to gain these rights.

I’m sure Josh is delighted with the direction this thread has taken

You started it, you whopper. 

Currently watching the Canadians beat the Czechs at Ice Hockey. 

Couldn't give a shit about the politics of it all, tbh. But it is what it is. I don't particularly like the BBC, but like everything it has some good, but some bad, I spose.

Just an observation about someone who has no history with you, you clearly do care about the politics. 

The BBC is far from perfect and applying modern standards to historic incidents when the world was a different place and the people involved are dead or retired seems strange.

All big organisations will have had such skeletons except few, if any at all, have the level of scrutiny that the BBc have, and generally by people who want to take the organisation down for purely political reasons.

It's far from perfect, but probably it's the most respected media organisation in the world and adheres to standards none of the others do, can't be so easily corrupted.

Anyone thinking otherwise who are able to cite other media organisations that do a better job then go ahead?

Without the BBC the world would be much dumber and I've really no time for anyone who thinks otherwise, as they clearly haven't tried to give it enough thought whilst happy to be fed corrupted shite by the likes of Murdoch or the shady characters behind GB News.

I give you Fox News . No go reflect on the merits of the BBC.

Erm great and yet another subscription to add to Sky, Disney, Netflix etc. when people argue for choice it never seems to bring prices down only up as international and national sports sell their soul to numerous media outlets, forcing millions either not to watch games or get dodgy streams. 

I used to watch a lot of international sport but gave up when sports decided profit was more important than engaging the nation. No wonder mainly posh boys and girls play cricket, Rugby Union etc

Likewise I get Discovery+ through my EE phone/internet contract absolutely for free.

I remember watching Fox News for the first time, properly, in around 2004ish. I genuinely could not believe the disparity between the quality of reporting and obvious bias it offered. It was blatant. Unashamed.

It has a lot to answer for, in terms of where America finds itself today. Any credible thinker cannot criticise Trumpism whilst simultaneously advocating for a news media that has lower journalistic standards than the BBC
