Sexism on CBBC

[sunshineandbooks]

I supervise my DC's TV viewing quite carefully because I worry about media portrayal of women and the way in which society is presented in general. I hate advertising so we tend to stick to CBeebies/CBBC/laptop. I turned on CBBC this morning, thinking state-subsidised broadcaster, high ethical standards, etc. So imagine my horror when their Young Dracula programme was introduced with the presenter promising "not to scream like a girl"

Have just emailed a complaint.

delusional and misogynistic

(btw a part-time job in radio rentals doesn't count as working in tv )

[giyadas]

And stop lying, you'll go to hell y'know.

@ deeverelda. PMSL, but vile cow is a bit strong. No?

Stop watching ITV - it's their fault not BBC's. Why should they accept responsibility for something ITV do?

[SinicalSal]

Isn't it up to the channel themselves to decide what to show?
whatevs

DVD's are the way forward, I agree.

So the no sexist apology was that the presenter was being self depreciating but saying about creaming like a girl.... riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Why not scream like a baby? Scream like a cat?

And Greg James starcaller theme tune on radio one say popstar, filmsrat, pornstar...he's on in the afternoon ffs.

oops, not in the last trailer I heard!!

"creaming like a girl" Sorry, I know it's childish and adds nothing to the conversation, but I did laugh at that.

I kind of got your point about kids tv presenters, but the rest of it? I haven't a clue what you're on about, it's just seems like random sentences.
