Let’s talk about BBC

[Rusty Nails]

My impression is you think the BBC shouldn't be held to higher standards than other outlets

Or, to phrase it a different way, should other outlets be excused for lower standards than the BBC.


Based on the furore over this situation the BBC are definitely held to higher standards than other outlets, and sometimes they get it wrong.

Yep, how dare the BBC summarise a speech. They should publish stories about non existing families not being able to go to private schools, or interview someone without checking they got the correct person by that name.

If it were summarised, there would have been a merge point between the edits.

There wasn't, it was a deliberate act to completely change to understanding of the sentence.

Bbc need a sting so hard they will never do that again.

It seems as if it’s the Telegraph that’s been stung hard.
Their prospective US buyers have done a runner and left them staring at their collective P45s.
Back stabbing the BBC and yet the knife ends up in their back.

The Telegraph journalists (should that be in quotes?) turned on their putative new masters with a tranche of anti-Redbird articles and briefings. So says Private Eye.

I thought there was a UAE financial involvement

It's just one facet of BBC News. If you hitch your complaints to the same wagon containing criticism of bias over Gaza, Leftie bias, Right-wing bias ... et al, it looks to me (honestly) like you severely weaken your case.

I don't see what this can mean other than a guilt by association thing whereby you consider the criticism over Gaza etc is unfounded and therefore the criticism over women's rights coverage must be unfounded too. I haven't followed BBC coverage of Gaza to know whether overall it's been biased or not. You could just say the same about their women's rights coverage rather than dismissing the criticism because of the outlets who are making it alongside the other stuff.

They certainly packed a lot of nostalgia into that. My personal favourite promo -

Still, I'm happier without auntie on my payroll these days.

Of course it is. That doesn't automatically mean they aren't at fault or that we shouldn't have the highest expectations of a publicly funded service. Maybe the BBC could stop giving them an open goal.

Fair point.

Discovery, depositions is going to be very interesting.

Who shall they extradite first for interview?

Yet more crap from the X Files.

We all know that they don’t know what they are talking about.
