I enjoy reading James Harding in The Times, however, on this occasion he doesn't seem to draw a distinction between the three types of output worldwide.
Is it the BBC supported by the license fee, BBC World Service supported by grant-in-aid from the FCO or BBC World, BBC America etc which are funded by advertising and operated by BBC Worldwide?
I happen to enjoy BBC World, but know that BBC America comes in for a lot of criticism. It sure is a global brand, but doesn't seem to enjoy the same content.
It is about time all swearing was stopped on all TV programs it is not necessary and indicates a lack of vocabulary
