Purely a question of opinion of course. |
Doesn't seem to advantage them when there is something better on though, hence why they are beaten whenever they go up against X-Factor. I think it's because of the vast amount of people with only a few channels and trust and know the BBC. They just settle on it.

Indeed. Murdoch has always been a great polariser, few things cause a good Cable Forum gloat session like his misfortune.

Meh. He has had this animosity building for a while. It's in a large part down to the actions of his papers. The Sun is a ferocious beast that he will set on people when it suits him. He has long played politicians and parties to suit him and provide them with good coverage. Now he no longer has control of them they have turned on him. Good.
It's pretty evident the sickening levels to which The News of the World sunk. Don't have any sympathy for him.
