Thie above piece from february, a bit early to see if this has enough balls to tackle historical marketing hyperbole which has skewed the mindset / buying habits of society at large.

I doubt vw group et al will be sh****g the bed, bearing in mind the grrman govt made sure everyone took it easy on them for a triple decker baloney sandwiich of lies & cheating!

VW Jetta ..green car of the year 2009 ? (rescinded 2015) ..arschloch

NB the car advertising BS was a major contributing factor to me giving up on mainstream tv*, what with the clear bbc with tory controllers at the helm indirectly then taking office front and centre, appointed by the tories.. ensuring bias whilst swearing blind "factual" reporting , that made me think, this is an overt control mechanism for simpletons, ..it works in russia right!? (sadly not going to change with a different party, too much opportunity missed)

Why try when we can lie ?

*when you say "bullsh1t at both the programmes AND the commercial breaks, its a sign something is wrong, sadly your own family sitting watching & hearing you will put it down to age & curmudgeonly behaviour, ..whilst watching the dross as entertainment.

Not even david Attenborough could drag me back.

I gave up on tv 20yrs ago - partly due to the rubbish on there since it went digital, but mostly because it's too easy to waste an evening just sitting watching pointless nonsense.

On the subject of bbc bias, i saw this article on CNN the other day:-

Gary Lineker recieves human rights award from Ammnesy International.

You'd think the BBC would be delighted to report on one of there own presenters being honoured by a human rights organisation - but so far, nothing.

Their silence speaks volumes.
