OK I bothered to waste the time to create a BBC ID login, and add a comment to one of the “FEW” articles that are available to comment on the BBC corporation push based media website( ie its nominally interactive )

The article got up to 738 comments and they locked it from anymore comments.

The comment system on the BBC website is token and pointless and here are the reasons why :

1: every comment is censored by a paid human being for political correctness and language, (A total profligate waste of license money) since the comments after this process can never be said to represent free opinion, or allow for any negativity or criticism toward the beeb, it is automatically a pointless system !

In contrast to a ‘were all adults’ approach ie a completely free self moderated system.(all they need is a disclaimer of liability ?) after all if idiots want to chase theyre tail getting upset by comments on a website allow them to, but at least they’ll get a realistic view of the full spectra of opinion of the public ? whereas as the beebs approach has always been to sanitise public opinion to some absurd politically correct fascist liberal agenda > which is in no way democratic.

2: Very few articles do they allow the public any feedback on.

3: They select favourite comments to be “editors picks” giving them prime viewing, a highly subjective secondary form of censorship, which invalidates any worth in most other non picked comments in general.

4: They close comments on an article after a short while(in this case after 739 comments), and do not then add your comment to the article, even if you submitted your comment a large time before they close it for comments, yet before your comment has been through the censoring process. So your comment is then presumably just discarded, making bothering to attempt to comment even more pointless, as your words will most often be wasted.

5: They may well wimfully discard your comment and not inform you or send you a copy of the comment you made thereby throwing the energy involved in its creation away.

Now the point to gain from this is that some people comment on websites because they’re actually desperate for democracy, ie the idea their voice or opinion might make some difference, because lets face it democracy in britain equates to a single popularity contest being held once every four years for a different set of over-priviliged powerful idiots wearing different colour ties to come in and fuckup the country in their own special way. Basically commenting on websites is pointless, the website doesn’t want your feedback, they present your feedback on the site purely to give you the illusory token sense that you have some influence on them so that you feel good about your role as sponge in the push media. do not delude yourself any good comes form commenting on a website. Basically all the media, corporations and governments desperately truly fear the idea of true democracy. Because they presume people are too thick to be allowed an opinion.

THE CORPORATION THAT IS THE BBC IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN A PROPAGANDA VEHICLE FOR THE GOVERNMENT, and government itself is now in turn no more than a puppet for international business and corporate interest : learn this …

here is the comment I sent to the beeb roughly from memory, after all they lost my comment in the ether or censored it out of existence :
——————————————————————–
wow you are allowing comments again on the site ! wow thanks beeb !
so I get to have a say in the push media ?
I guess shareholders will have as much success of reigning in executive pay, as cameron did reigning in the immigration figures, ie a laughably pathetic inability to make any difference …
——————————————————————–

There is no correlation between the extent of people’s pay and their talents, that’s the definition of overpaid, when corporations waste money on people, unnecessarily, because they are the people who are deciding whose being paid what. the excuse of competitivity is being given. If cameron wants to control the excesses of the wealth class, all he needs to do is implement taxation that hammers the multiple house owner or property speculator class, basically bar buy to let mortgages beyond a single property, as that will affect all those people who are filthy wealthy. And that will redress the property inequality that is truly at the heart of the inequality and division that is killing UK culture.

I spoke to soon with the “I get to have a say”, my comment did not appear on this article, so if you want your view to appear on the internet copy your comment before posting it, run your own blog like I do and paste it to that, no one will read it mind and you will need akismet (spam comment blocker) for your blog to be even partially functional, but at least its there for posterity, because lets face it you can’t trust any corporation not to censor you out of existence or trash your comment with impunity, whilst simultaneously fawningly market at you, that they care and are desperate to let you have “Your Say” !
