He's known to me. Spends his time defending the BBC to death in-between claiming benefits. It's almost a perfect storm, really.

What? Are you on about TopCat - he was arguing against the BBC.

The opposite to "kudos" should be "punch."
As in, Michael wants to punch Declan.

This thread about BBC News being stale compared to sky. I wonder how long it'll be before someone suggests a revamp. Or more standing up. Or "why don't they send the presenters out into the newsroom".
yawn.

In the BBC News is stale thread.

But to be fair, if Mouseboy33 started telling us how to improve BBC News it would only be in comparison to US Local News Stations.

And then I would tell mouseboy that the American presentation he showed us was crap, cheesy, stupid, pointless, over the top and tacky. And then we'd all realise how lucky we are to have the stale BBC News.

maybe i am showing my age here, but I dont think BBC News is stale at all, its a perfectly adequate 24 hr news service, if people wants gimmicks, then BBC World News is the place to go where they can see presenters roaming around the BBC newsroom.

I quite agree, News should be more based on content than on presentation. I know TVF is a Presentation discussion forum but some members forget that BBC News/Sky News is simply a rolling news channel compared to ITV News/C4 News which are standalone bulletins or BBC World News which isn't really a rolling news channel, more of just a News Channel with different programmes and strands.
One thing with TV Forum is the 'every so-often' threads that come around every 6 months. Whether BBC News is worse than its competitors is one of them. Others include things like 'Has the license fee had its time', 'Would you axe BBC Three or Four or both' and basically any discussion thread started by the Anti-BBC Cabal.
