Sadly I’ve just deleted the BBC News app on my phone. I used to love it… probably my single most used app in recent years.Alway checking the headlines… or I could scroll through my own chosen topics… or when time allowed delve into a ‘long read’ very adult… very engaging… very intuitive until now.I feel I’m now being spoon fed what the BBC ( who’s wages we pay btw) thinks I need to see.. I have to scroll down through what I can only describe as interminable irrelevant and incoherent rubbish to get to the actual topic I what… I’ve tried on and off all night and it’s just giving me a headache.I feel sad and slightly depressed that the BBC is yet again alienating its core audience ( as they have in recent years by turning Radio 2 into Radio 1 and again by ripping the heart out of local broadcasting) I’m sure as always in coming days some highly paid and self justified talking head will appear and explain how we need this… their algorithm and their committee says so… As a disappointed paying customer I have deleted the app and will find another source of news until such time as the old app is re-unstated.Sorry Auntie Beeb… you most definitely has got it wrong this time… TTFN!!!
