Chinahand Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 All very sad ... but to be the main headline on the BBC News website???? "Man gets lost on holiday falls off cliff" does not require the BBC to fly out special correspondents to cover the aftermath live from a boat in the bay. Self obsessed BBC blind to the fact more important things should be given coverage. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c0kk9gvw8l0o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 War, authoritarianism, political paralysis and division, holding unrealistic claims to account. Do I need to go on? These are more important than the misadventures of a minor celebrity. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Jazeera is very often more interesting and cerebral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Every news outlet (not just the BBC) is currently running with Mosley as the headline. It’ll probably change before the day’s over. They’re all also running stories on wars etc (unless they’re in Africa). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC is wall to wall 24/7/365 with war, global disaster, politics, pop stars, football etc and this is the hill you choose to die on? Time to "touch grass" as the youth say.

The BBC believes it's the centre of the universe and everything that goes on within it is somehow of great interest beyond it's walls. Corporate narcissism exemplified.
