BIAS EXPOSED
How
Broadcasters Mislead the World
In recent
times the media (radio, television, and the music industry) have gotten
away with doing and saying outrageous things such as never before. The
British Broadcasting Corporation, the world's foremost broadcaster, was
intended to be a shining beacon, setting standards of excellence and an
example for other broadcasters to follow. And although it declares itself
to be bound by strict rules on balance and impartiality it has in practice
failed in these objectives. It has become an insufferably 'politically
correct' purveyor of filth, and promoter of violence. And it is now not
just the BBC. Television and music generally have become a cesspool.
The answer
is to have an independent 'Broadcasting Standards Commission' which will
establish and oversee standards, including technical and decency standards.
And because broadcasting has nowadays become inextricably linked to the
Internet and to music videos these things too should come under the Commission's
ambit.
We all know that television has enormous power (why else would advertisers
be prepared to pay out so much money to promote their products?) and unfortunately
unhealthy depictions on television are accepted as reality by viewers in
general and so eventually these depictions come to be regarded as acceptable
and 'normal'. Over time this has a stunting effect on the human mind.
It is therefore important that this extremism in broadcasting be controlled.
The Broadcasting Standards Commission will probably be divided into these
following departments, like Technical Standards
, Decency Standards , Advertising
Standards and Quality Standards of Programming
.
Technical
Standards
These will
include such things as quality of sound and vision and high definition
standards as well as Internet transmissions and broadband, cable and satellite.
Sound transmission is often inconsistent, sound levels vary between channels
and even between programmes, and speech is often obscured by background
sound or music which is too loud.
Decency
Standards
Some people
use broadcasting to transmit filth and to subvert public taste. Much so-called
"music" (largely of American origin) is often nothing more than promotion
of lewdness and pornography.
Advertising
Standards
To promote
moral
standards in advertising.
Quality
Standards of Programming
To promote
the highest quality in the content in programmes broadcast.
