I seem to remember the Daily Telegraph were complaining that the BBC didn't put on programs that went against what the Telegraph believe are their addled hippy pink faggot beliefs. Channel 4 have managed to pause in their David Blaine/Big Brother/Friends love-in to put out what might be an interesting program: Globalisation is Good. I am a little worried as the write-up claims that he will be making the case that the anti-globalisation movement harms the very people they claim to represent. I am worried only because it implies that these global corporations spend their time giving out food and clothes to the poor people of the world. Tell the people who have BP oil pipelines going through their homelands, poisoning the land itself while hired thugs kill and maim without the company doing anything to stop them, that anti-globalisation is bad and they should be thankful to have the choice of dying by being beaten up or by poison. Hopefully, the presenter is going to make a bit more effort, as I think to succeed in his case he's got to show that the anti-globalisation movement is more harmful to the underpriveledged than the people they are against.

Will watch, will report back.
