Interesting article on the Times reporting the well-known British astronomer Patrick Moore. He’s critical of the corporation’s decline in good television, and blames the women who now manage it.

What catches the attention (well, mine anyway) is the volume of comments posted in response – from men and women alike, mostly agreeing with him, some launching into other media in Canada, the US and Australia for being worse, and for the same reason.

Is this kind of candour in the mainstream media still legal?
