The British armed forces don't want the BBC broadcasting to their troops in wartime. That tells me all I need to know about which side they're on.

I enjoy watching BBC America on cable, but their news is dryer than a popcorn fart.

The BBC is the Pravda of modern TV news.
In fact the BBC is even worse.
Today the BBC is the propaganda, disinformation and dirty tricks department of Al Quaeda.
Under no cirmcumtances will this POS news be on in my house.

It might do if it were true, but it's not. Actually, the armed forces facilitate the piping of British TV, including BBC channels to forces where possible. You're probably referring to one incident on one naval ship that was reported where the crew had the Sky News feed substituted for the BBC news feed, which was partially in response to a BBC story about an incident involving the ship that the crew felt portrayed them unfairly.
