The BBC buys a lot of American shot too, funded by our so- called licence fee, which is in reality a TV tax. We get little choice in it and that is a problem with the BBC.

Uk seems to hate itself, the idea that you begrudge the tv license but pay for American shot is beyond me.

The bbc sells more than . It buys. It makes its money when a show is remade in other countries. The bbc gives our actors a chance. Plus we get British culture on tv. Pepper need to get over the bbc tv licence. The amount is minuscule. The benefit is not being erican

Genuine question: what’s “American shot” and how are we paying for it?

Oh right that makes more sense, here’s me looking it up on Wikipedia and thinking it has to do with American cowboy films or something.

I am looking the BBC playing the large orange pant shitter at his own game and him hating it.
I hold all news outlets in the same regard, they sensationalise or ignore when it suits them and are there as Ad space more than anything for the most part. Clickbait. Clickbait. Clickbait. Traffic, Ads, REVENUE.
The cycle has kinda put me off most news sites/feeds.
