Do not be too harsh on BBC

Sir, with reference to your editorial “Auntie's life on Mars” March 15, may we dare to remind you that there are in fact quite many of us out there that do appreciate, immensely, the existence of a BBC that is allowed the resources to live up to high journalistic standards without being forced to pamper too much to ratings and market whims. 

Even though a drop in their audience could perhaps be attributed more to their non-listeners’ confusions, we are certain that BBC is worrying sufficiently about it since no real or in that case even no-fake journalist likes to see that happen. 

In conclusion, please do not be too harsh on BBC, if only for the sake of informational biodiversity, we do all benefit from allowing it to go in the same way, even if the world is moving to Mars.

PS. Why has FT deleted this editorial?
