short term gain- long term pain

We aussies are getting sick of overated colourful junk being slotted onto our screens by our own ABC but from the BBC .http:/abctv .blogspot.com

take the the Bill ratings as an example of how aussies are cutting their umbilical cord to the old country and some of its great traditions - bbyc.
Clean up your act or we will be exporting more drama than you will be !
- eg The Bill ( used to be the biggest thing here but is / will be increasingly trashed as navel gazing soap)
-eg half baked revisionist piece on queen elizabeth recently
Many Australians used to be BBC addicts
-eg smiling curly haired naturalist whose "wonder" talk is an incoherent mix of simplistic noisy science and pop philosophy.
This trash is sending us hunting for videos like never before.

Do you ,like us, pay public servants to serve up second rate reporting of the more difficult tensions and debates ?.
While there is still some excellent stuff ( ABC australia management are pulling some of the worst and its losing audiences ( as if we can't tell how they slot in junk inbetwen good stuff)
