I've seen the BBC, when showing footage from a different media organization, state "courtesy of X" where X is the company owning the film, e.g. ITV or CNN.
But this morning while covering the Jade Goody story the BBC was showing footage of the current CBB with the statement "courtesy of Channel 4, Celebrity Big Brother, every night 9pm"!
I have never seen that before in which the schedule for the programme is also given.
Has there recently been a new law in which one media organization when using film from another media production must state EXACTLY where that film came from and when it was shown and when that programme next runs?
If not then I can assume that the BBC is advertising for Celebrity Big Brother.
And regarding the Jade v Shilpa, it has been used to show how good (C)BB is for showing that racism still exists in society and isn't it good that (C)BB was able to show you it still existed because racism is bad. (C)BB was being branded a load of crap. Some understood its aim to condition us to the surveillance society, while most just found it dull entertainment. So not just Channel 4 but every major media was whipped up in to a frenzy. Statements from housemates were replayed again and again, distorted or made up.
It's all a load of sh1t.
