Criticism
BBC Radio Cornwall has been criticised for its lack of Cornish accents amongst its presenters. This is in contrast to the rest of the UK where local accents are featured prominently in local radio.
Radio Cornwall has also been criticised for seeming to overuse the word "county" to describe Cornwall. Some people take the view that Cornwall is not a County of England and that the BBC should refer to Cornwall as a Duchy instead. It is claimed that many do not listen to Radio Cornwall because they find it offensive.

Famous quotes containing the word criticism:
“Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world—though the cant of hypocrites may be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It is the will of God that we must have critics, and missionaries, and Congressmen, and humorists, and we must bear the burden. Meantime, I seem to have been drifting into criticism myself. But that is nothing. At the worst, criticism is nothing more than a crime, and I am not unused to that.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
