It was a bit of fun posted in the down the pub section

Good to see the BBC getting a proper slamming over the Princess Diana interview
Quote from: YamFazFan on 21 May 2021, 07:48:48 amGood to see the BBC getting a proper slamming over the Princess Diana interview Once upon a time, the BBC were an organisation to be proud of. Now they are no different to the gutter press. Bashir should be stripped of his BAFTA he received for the interview.

(a bit like the last major scandal they had) 🙄 other than Bashir I doubt there's anyone else that will get in any bother for it. Most of them will have either moved on or retired by now 😒
Just waiting now for GB News to go live and give them all a kicking.
"GB News" is going to be the UK equivalent of Fox.
Just noticed that the other Administrator 'Aegis' hasn't logged into this site for almost a year and four months. Similarly two of the Moderators haven't been active for around 9 months and 10 months respectively.Isn't that a bit odd for members' who hold these positions to be inactive for so long?.

As for the others - I have no idea really

I don't actually care if my news is biased left or right but what I do care about is when a broadcaster is biased but hides behind a veil of neutrality. Sounds to me like GB news is going to be about proper debate from both sides. Can only be healthy.

"Proper debate" is not "Here's Mr X talking about the racist abuse he's experienced and here's Mr Y of the KKK to present the other side of the argument"!
