Your argument so far is basically just that "People who are paid to report are not trustworthy simply because they are paid." I don't think anyone's buying that. Can you back it up any further?

Yes I can back it up:

The British governement has a certain party in power. They fund the BBC. These funds pay the people reporting the news. The news ends up reflecting their policies and defames everything else.

I have watched BBC plenty of times, I know it happens.

The only things that end up being good are those that cannot be opinionated (although the editors still try their best with comments).

A lot of that is backlash from the whole Dr David Kelly Suicide/Hutton Report white wash. The BBC stuck the knife into the government a lot during that time and its paying the price for that.

You can slightly feel a crunch if you crush them.

Suppose I should've made that conclusion.

I'm a fan of (not eating) dogs.

In all honesty, whenever i see a cat, i have fantasies about eating it. It's been like that for the longest time, and it usually doesn't happen with other animals, so im starting to wonder whether cats have some kind of weird freudian meaning to me. Maybe the cat is like a symbol of my feminine side, and eating one would symbolize me finally daring to fully "take in" that side and become a whole person? Oh God, i see it so clearly now!

... too much information, Watson.

As for me, I'm more of a cat person - hilariously, an animal that most of my family despises.

Back on topic, I find the fact that Germans refer to violent videogames as Killergames hilariously naive on their part, considering their history and all.
