China's broadcasting regulator has banned the BBC World Service from airing there, according to a report in Chinese state media. The news follows a move by Britain's communications regulator last week to strip the state-run China global television network of its broadcast license in the U.K.

This is an interesting idea, Istanbuller.

Like many non-TV viewers, what I have seen of commercial news media in the last five years has been an embarassment of lies, manipulative emotionality, and lack of integrity.

Each "political party" has its own paid TV liars who often wear heavy makeup, bleach their hair, and then use their "bitch powers" to bring down the other party in contrived memes that are shallow and insignificant - if they are even true.

China should look at Western media as "a cautionary tale" about the harmful effects of concentrated money.
