media - BBC cancelled 'East Asia Today'

Almost a month ago the BBC Worldservice cancelled its famous "East Asia Today", so it can focus more on the Middle East and the Islamic world, says the press release that went along with a decision that has sparked off remarkable little protest.
In stead of relying on its experts, the BBC now flies in famous presenters who - thanks Duncan Hewitt - accused Chen Shuibian of surpressing the poor Kuo Min Tang, forgetting that the KMT have been the real evil guys for too long. Also the coverage of North Korea seems to have been underwhelming.
It is part of a tendency where foreign correspondence moves into the direction of entertainment like much of the rest of the media, and information is only a tool to get more listeners, who we do not want to make upset with our information. They might switch off!
