BSA BS!

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The Hound reckons the recent stoush about the old Broadcasting Standards Authority (BSA) expanding its brief – with no real mandate – from traditional broadcasting to internet platforms is a case of ‘be careful what you wish for’

For years, every idiot with a social media account has become a ‘broadcaster’ of sorts, and it’s been the wild west out there.

So, if the BSA wants to take responsibility for all that garbage, maybe we should let them. The BSA seems to be targeting outlets whose politics it doesn’t like, such as Sean Plunket’s The Platform – an online-only ‘platform’.

Your old mate reckons, if the BSA claims dominion over that online content, they should get every complaint about every nutter saying crazy things on social media sent their way too!

Contact details available on the BSA website!
