As a kid my Mum and Dad were posted abroad, so the BBC World Service was our family's go-to for accurate and up-to-date news. When I worked abroad, the same applied to me, I trusted it. Now I have retired back in the UK, I don't know where to turn for accurate news, I don't and it is upsetting. Like most people I have access directly to foreign news services so I hear things first-hand, then I read the BBC version and sometimes it skews and varies the story so much that I don't recognise "Aunty". I am sorry this has happened to what used to be the most trusted radio and later TV service in the world for the news.
