Re: "The BBC is---probably---the finest news organisation in the world."
Desert Island Discs today had a "political" cartoonist and illustrator called Riddell, who I'm not familiar with. I think he does stuff for the Independent. Lauren Laverne asked him how he gets his ideas for topical cartoons and what fires him up. He said listening to the radio (I think he said Radio 4) makes him want to shout back at the radio, in anger or annoyance, and then quickly qualified it by saying, "I mean the news items of course, the BBC coverage is excellent (or first class or brilliant or something)" Obviously well suited to doing biting political satire for the Independent.
