There seems to be no end to the low standard of BBC news broadcasting. This morning’s Breakfast was shocking, using people who are in a state of shock having lost loved ones to Covid. I find myself questioning why the BBC chooses the individuals to interview out of the hundreds they must approach. We should not be made to feel like this of our broadcasting company; and it is OUR broadcasting company.The BBC seems to revel in dividing the nation. Making the most of negative views, often to make a political point. It is, of course, so easy to do with benefit of hindsight.And when it comes to compassion, let us have more of Charlie Stayt who has real empathy with those he interviews. The pretence by so many journalists is sickening.Journalism at the BBC seems to me to be at rock bottom. Why can the BBC not use journalists to provide balance? 50% balance I mean. There are thousands of heart-warming stories out there of good things individuals are doing in the face of this pandemic.If the BBC has to be negative, it should spend time seeking out and naming and shaming those who do not follow the rules. I suspect a large proportion of the rising Covid infection rate is due to those who flout the rules.
