BBC to Provide Extensive RSS

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the lots-of-simple-syndication dept.

Georgie2032 writes "The BBC News Online's Editor states that beginning in the middle of May, the BBC will be 'completely liberating the availability of its content' using its Really Simple Syndication (RSS) tool. 'So in May we'll be happy for outside websites to dip in and take our headlines'"

    That nebulous polling 'technology' that almost nobody outside of the 'blogosphere' cares much about...

  2. Too bad you can't opt out of BBC News by AntonVoyl · · Score: 0, Troll
    I love BBC's entertainment fare, but I just can't stomach its left-of-New Labour newscasts. The Beeb has serious issues with systemic bias and it seems unfair that the entire populace is forced to pay for the relentless promotion of an ideology that most Britons don't subscribe to. Were I a Conservative or a euroskeptic of some stripe, I'd certainly be tired of being taxed in order to hear incessantly about how great Charles Kennedy and the EU are.


    Couldn't there be a Third Way (tm) whereby one could opt out of BBC News but keep the rest of the programming? Or maybe they could create separate news broadcasts for each of the UK's major political blocs?
