Sky News is possibly worse than the BBC.

Today's headlines on the Sky News website

The main headline taking up half the front page is:-

PM makes "screeching U-turn" and will now go to COP27 climate meeting.

The next item on their front page refers to PMs Question Time:-

PM absolutely hammered on immigration at PMQs

Tbh I missed todays but last week rishi smashed it so I doubt these posters did what you did; and actually watched it today. He won’t be the pushover many imagine.
I’m sure they will watch it on replay and come back on here with the same proclamations if they have the bollo x.
It only lasts half hour or so, that gives until 9 ish to reply to you with plenty of time for din din a shower and babestation reruns to clear the pipes.
After all some are complete …….. anyway

Me too but Crappy Proud (we can all make up stupid nicknames) insists that Starmer "absolutely smashed Sunak" today so he was obviously watching the lefty alternative version

Match of the Day last night - lead game was Leeds v Bournemouth.
Great game to watch completely ruined by Vicki Sparks the commentator.
The worst commentator on record for me and a voice that is harsh and annoying.
How does she get and keep the job?
Utter madness

Try watching The Hundred cricket matches on BBC and Sky if you want to find the worst sports commentator.

The Hundred is on at the same time as the summer test matches and the best commentators are commentating on the Tests leaving them scratching around for Hundred commentators. A couple of the female commentators are quite good (Isa Guha and Ebony Rainford-Brent) but most of the others are dreadful with Lydia Greenwood being a case in point

" how does she get and keep the job ".........the problem is that if she is ot very good at her job she would never be replaced by a man so the question is how many female commentators are available.

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I remember this story at the time some people on here sticking up for the BBC and damming the newspapers. Well now we know the truth.

Even the best make mistakes. Being run by people, not by machines, means it will always happen from time to time.

The important thing to note is that the BBC does have editorial guidelines which require it to report news with due accuracy and due impartiality.

The BBC have apologised and said ""While Ofcom has found that our reporting was not in breach of the Broadcasting Code, the BBC's Executive Complaints Unit ruled in January this year that more could have been done sooner to acknowledge the differing views about what could be heard on the recording of the attack. The BBC apologised at the time for not acting sooner to highlight that the contents of the recording was contested."

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. The Board of Deputies of British Jews do seem to take great offence at some things others would not.

Don't though let that stop anyone having another pop at the BBC.

 


For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Since they received an apology it would appear they were right to take offence.
