a cover on edwin starr's War with a Tony Blair look-alike as lead singer pretty funny www.uglyrumours.com/leninology.blogspot.com/2007/03/bbc-bans-antiwar-single.htmlWell, you may have already heard that the the antiwar single, a cover of Edwin Starr's 'War - What Is it Good For?' has made it into the top ten already. It's presently at number six in the charts with precious few resources, and could, with sufficient effort, make it to number 1. The BBC, in their infinite rubberiness, have decided to ban it, fearing that its antiwar message will offend the government. It has already appeared in a number of news broadcasts, and news items, and it has been played across the world. However, senior sources in the BBC say that a banning order has been promulgated, preventing the single from being given further coverage on its programmes. This comes after a radio segment that was due for broadcast this afternoon was pulled at the last moment. It would be a little bit embarrassing if the BBC was to avoid playing the number one single in the charts, launched by mass campaign from below, with few resources.

I hope Olbermann covers that story this week. People were predicting his downfall after his anti-Bush campaigning on GE owned MSNBC. Instead, he has a great new four year contract.
3/5 of his show, and CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight" are about the only live tv worth my time. GB

GB I couldn't agree more about Lou Dobbs & Olbermann (I'd go with 2/5 of Keith Olbermann. And I'd really like to see Dobbs get off of his recent "war-on-drugs" kick.). Those are about the only shows worth my time as well. Sometimes PBS has a good show, but not consistently. For honest economic news I'd again recommend the links I've posted for both Nouriel Roubini and The Daily Reckoning (especially the Bill Bonner Archive.)
