BBC Sensationalism

[Pondlife]

ISTM that the beeb is increasingly using alarming headlines that when you read the article turn out to be bollox.

Todays headline : Job cuts 'hit two in three' in UK
Which when you read the article turns out to mean 2/3 of people know of someone personally who've lost their job.

Not really the same thing is it.

Headline grabbing seems to be getting worse IMO.

I know it's not at Daily Mail levels yet but it was never this pointless was it?

News this morning, saying only 1 in 10 think we are at the end of the recression.

And they do stupid things like going live to a bloke stood outside the MOD when there's a story about troops etc - utterly wasteful and pointless as there's flip all to see.

I notice government ministers don't bother to turn up any more so the "news" consists of two journos interviewing each other "what's the mood in Westminster tonight Nick?"
