You don't seem to offer a better solution only a reason why you don't like this one.

Of course the BBC is unavoidably propaganda - even just unconsciously - that's why this Hafler Trio track from 1984 exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIobKBy8XOs

I also have personal experience that they're far from infallible, a friend lied to them about our farcical "Potato powered" computer† and for a while their news story about this was actually available as if it was real news not a joke.

But they're clearly trying and "not good enough" doesn't seem like an adequate justification for giving up and saying we'll just go without democracy then. If this is the best we have then this will have to do.

† The worst part is that this is kinda, sorta at the edge of plausible, which is why I thought from the outset that it's not a good joke. We didn't build such a thing, but maybe someone could have or even has.
