Quote:BBC had one of those black backgrounds with the dates and a photo of her - like they do for well known actors, a bit sickening when they too played their part in hounding her in the same report hey also showed some bbc footage of her surrounded by press and cameras and then the report over the footage they were calling it a "media scrum" - when they were there and part of it.Umm no. A high-profile public figure appears in court on serious assault charges……. Why is that you think this should not be reported? BBC just doing it’s job.
However, I don’t think the BBC goes in for muck racking, gutter journalism, cheque book journalism or phone and email hacking for example.
I do not believe that the BBC can be accused of playing any role, or having had any influence on these recent sad events. To suggest so is a bit silly.
Not that I am saying they don’t ever over step the mark or get it wrong. They rightly got screwed over their reporting of Cliff Richard.
