I asked why and was basically told that it was not politically correct. Apparently there had been complaints by some patrons that the news was offensive. My word. Any thoughts?
Probably sensible in this day and age, sadly. Showing BBC vs GB News is akin to showing CNN vs Fox in the US. Gets people riled.
