I have not seen any "entertainment" or "lifestyle" segment or anything like it in a long time. So I can't really comment on that. Their news coverage top notch though.

I enjoy their news coverage too. It's on the radio every morning. As for them being "elite", you're not going to find many large media organizations where people aren't making a nice living and rubbing elbows with royalty and dignitaries. I suppose you become a bit like that which you report on, right?

I agree that the BBC is not the stellar pillar of journalism that it is often made out to be. The problem is that there aren't many better alternatives. The BBC still trumps most international media sources imo. It's not perfect but it's not Fox either.
