BBC News: Public not buying it

Earlier I posted about declining BBC viewers and noted the reasons were the rampant bias and deceit exhibited by the BBC.

Now, via Biased BBC, comes a report from
South African Sunday Times noting the public, as well as not buying the bull the BBC puts on the TV and web, are not buying BBC employees books either.

But not every publisher was as happy as Brown’s lot was this year. This was a year when the big hitters in the book industry paid vast sums for huge, often very self-important books which swiftly wound up in the remainder bins.

Penguin, for example, forked out £600000 for Revolution Day, by the “handsome” BBC Iraq reporter Rageh Omaar. It has sold just 16000 copies — and, according to observers, recouping just 5% of the publishers’ advance.

HarperCollins doled out £600000 for Shooting History, the memoirs of Channel 4 News presenter Jon Snow, and £500000 for Inside Story, the bitter confessional by former BBC director-general Greg Dyke. Snow’s book sold about 9000 copies, while Dyke’s sales almost hit the 6000 mark. Not good, to say the least.

No, and their news organization is not very good either.
