Asian quake equivalent to "1 Million A-Bombs"

Don’t cut the BBC
Paul Carr of The Guardian says BBC cuts are another thing he doesn’t need.
“The point of the BBC is that it spends my money on things I don’t care about – like the Shipping Forecast and letting Ian Wright present the National Lottery. That’s what it’s for. Likewise, their online raison d’etre should be to pour money into web things that are silly, or unpopular or in competition with a commercial rival, without shame or explanation. Because it’s through this diversity that bbc.co.uk has become the most emotionally satisfying site on the web.“
He’s not wrong.
If the BBC don’t do it, no commercial organisation will – unless there’s a profit to be made, of course.
