It serves dual purpose:

1) It is the finest and best value broadcast network in the world, bar none, no exceptions

2) It gets right up the noses of exactly the right wings c**ts who are most value when moaning about some perceived bias, unfairness or mistake. The kind of fussy home-counties anal retentive who'll work out a household rota for BBC news channel watching shift in the week before rememberance Sunday in the hope of catching a newsreader daring to not wear a poppy. Louise Minchin's poppy fell off for a few seconds one morning this week, and I heard the feverish excited intake of breath from here, and letters to the Mail being gleefully crafted. Cunts.
