Let’s talk about BBC

To quote Jonathan Foster, a former lecturer at the University of Sheffield’s department of journalism, “If someone says it’s raining and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out the f***ing window and find out which is true.”

[Theres a good series on BbC Sounds about this, but I forget the presenter, sorry! ]

Do you think it cares about facts?

Mine's just a general information post. I have no interest in what that particular poster thinks (or whatever the appropriate term is).

BBC back in full self-flagellation mode again after theologian calls xenophobic minister (Jenrick) xenophobic for saying something xenophobic.
This was entirely inappropriate as religion has nothing to do with politics or hatred of other people - obviously.

They are scared of their own shadow at the moment.
Management must be constantly walking on egg shells.

Uncertain. Switched on TV yesterday evening and who suddenly appeared on my screen - Greg Wallace (the person found to have 45 complaints upheld). Same happened a few days ago. Despite the independent investigating upholding large numbers of the complaints BBC still plastering him all over TV bradcasts.

(Needless to say he didn't stay on my screen but that is the case before the investigation findings and before the allegations hit headlines).

They re edited the series and decided to broadcast it as it was unfair to the contestants.

Wallace is getting loads of heat. I’m surprised how little heat Jay Blades is getting in the press and he’s charged with rape.
