We must be bad

[Doggy Styles]

Even the Americans are surprised at how biased and parachial the BBC coverage is at the Olympic Games.

In the past, apart from the occasional lapse, the BBC were pretty balanced. Now I must admit I find it all a bit cringeworthy, even worse than the US Olympic coverage at Los Angeles 1984.

Are the BBC that bad or am I imagining it?

In the build up to the athletics on Wednesday it was seriously cringe-worthy being in the stadium. Kris Akabusi ranting and raving like an USA rapper was embarrassing and they showed nothing but re-runs of GB gold medal winners on the big screens.

What about the biased coverage when the general elections are on and the presenters unashamedly support New Labour ?

What about the biased coverage when GDP stats are in and BBC presenters keep harping about how conservatives destroyed the economy and that New Labour is the only option ?

That BBC is biased is an open secret and the conservatives once even refused to send a cabinet member to QuestionTime.

My US friends tell me the NBC coverage is terrible, and even got me to upload the BBC opening ceremony in HD for a few of them - 10.8gb!

I think the US have a got a bloody nerve to be honest. They whoop & clap everytime one of them goes to the bathroom in a bar back in the US.

At a recent conference they were really getting on my tits. Not only mine. In a session held by a Scottish guy the following day, he started by saying 'Theres good news and bad news. The good news is there will be no high fives or whooping, the bad news there's a test at the end of the session'. Simple and understated.

The medal table changes between Total medals & No of Golds depending on how they're doing against China.

Who cares? It's the BBC (the clue's in the name) and these are the British Olympics. There's always Eurosport if it annoys you.

Why should a British organisation be neutral when just about every other country is quite happy to big up their own events/athletes (esp. the US)? And I doubt the Chinese coverage was too impartial.

If they (the BBC) were being impartial then the press and most of the public would be jumping up and down screaming at them for not getting behind Team GB enough
