And that is different how exactly from the advertisement industry, which pushes trash nobody really needs?

Not to mention the secondary industry of fake reviews latched onto that.

Not really meant as what about, because at the end of the day it is the same annoying shit almost everybody seems to accept as necessary evil, that's just the way it works, yada yada.

edit: Put another way, every channel is oversaturated with noise. No Signal anymore, except for Virtue maybe. I don't give a shit. Just bad entertainment.

Mainstream media clearly labelled their adverts (and BTW the BBC doesn't carry them at all). They also don't carry fake reviews. Fake reviews are the kind of thing that made money for Hacker X.

Doesn't matter. The beeb carried fake-news, though. And isn't neutral. At least not nowadays. Maybe that was different a long time ago. Why is it so hard to accept that you can't trust anyone? Is there an urge to believe which I seem to lack?

The BBC is right now an arm of the Tory government with very little editorial independence. I hope a future Labour government swiftly replaces the editorial staff to ensure independence and institutes mechanisms to prevent such hijacking from ever happening again.
