In the crazy mental world I inhabit, I actually like media regulation. UK TV, excepting the BBC, is regulated by Ofcom. You can read their annual report on public service broadcasting here.

The report is what a regulator’s report that didn’t want to regulate would look like. In this parallel world of non-regulation, this is a non-regulators report.

In non-regulation there are non-rules – a series of banal statements, which instead of being enforced are endlessly repeated. The result of these platitudinous plebiscites is enough non-data and non-information to provide food for non-thought. By the time you’ve waded through it you will be dumber than when you started.

On the plus side, there are lots of little graphs that you can grab for presentations – God bless chartjunk.
