BBC News p*sses me off

[Andy in Sig]

I reckon the only reason they do meaningless live link ups is that the reporters are on overtime. The brainless "conversations" with smarmy creeps like George Alagayah (sp?) are particularly irritating.

Well I think the BBC news is very well done so neeeh ;0)

I used to think that until Messrs Brand and Ross had their lapse of judgement, at which point I vowed to seek out a source of ACTUAL NEWS.

 

[Mr Pig]

I agree, no news reporting is unbiased. The BBC are just better than average.

And Ross should've been sacked...

Good point. It all makes sense now...beanz' post #4 about 'branding'. It's a verb meaning 'to turn into total silage any semblance of information'.

As long as Fiona Bruce is there to look at and listen to, I can manage any amount of 'old pal/best mates sucking-up'!

The BBC weathermen get me! Particularly Rob McElwee who presents the weather as if he's reading a short mystery story.

And that Daniel Corbett! Odd or what!?

I find listening to the World Service news resolves a lot of my problems with BBC news.

Yes - it's always good to get a slightly more 'outside' perspective.

I like Ritula Shah, who often presents the World Tonight. She has a lovely way of enunciating the word Afghanistan.

And Neil Nuness (sp?) has a voice like hot chocolate....

Also, the shipping forecast is much better at night, when delivered by Radio 4 continuity, than in the morning, when it's delivered by a presenter from the Met Office.
