The fact is that it's a terrible state of affairs in this country where we (the general public) let a group of faceless journalists working for a toilet-paper-worthy rag such as the Daily Mail decide what we are offended at. Everyone wants to be heard above everyone else. Everyone wants to be more offended than the last.
We pay our licence fee, and therefore the salaries of every B.B.C. employee, and are entitled to an opinion, whether we saw or listened to any particular broadcast or not.

I haven't personally seen the war in Iraq, but I still have an opinion on it.

Jonathan Ross isn't in the B.B.C.'s top ten rated programmes, either on television or radio. His salary far outweighs his talent, or the number of viewrs/listeners he pulls in.
