I go away for the morning... :lol:
Despite everything I agree with JB on his statement that the left, and specifically the Twitterati, are far better at mobilising protest movements online. The poor technical standards alone are giving them all the ammo they need, before we even get onto editorial.
In turn the campaigning, which initially seems successful, could spark a major domino effect with advertisers pulling their copy from the channel.
If that happens, they're done for. There is a precedent here when the News Of The World was forced to fold due to advertisers refusing to buy space in the wake of the phone hacking scandal. It then depends how far the backers will continue dipping into into wallets to prop it up should the advertising revenue get cut off?
Also agree the knee-taking rants are becoming very tiresome, the point's been made. You ain't gonna stop them doing it. Move on.
You can't help but feel there'll be a fascinating documentary on this in a couple of year's time... ironically on BBC Two.
