Mike:

Doesn't the BBC have an extensive network of local radio stations?  I'm 
asking because I don't know--but don't these BBC Local Radio stations 
concentrate on the regions?

I'm just wondering how valid the criticism is.  Here, NPR and PBS are 
often criticized as biased to the left and too "Beltway" (ie: 
Washington, DC) based.  While there is some truth there, it is far less 
than the degree to which it is expressed and much of the latter comes 
from people predisposed to have "a bee in their bonnet" over public 
broadcasting as a matter of principle.  That is, almost nothing NPR or 
PBS did would satisfy them anyway.
