General BBC-related comment thread!

It’s nice to see that the BBC – the home of responsible journalism – is first in the field with this vital news about the non-killer of Jill Dando. Oddly enough Sky News – online anyway – has (at the time of posting) not mentioned this despite it being one of their employees who was allegedly “stalked”. The BBC story is particularly unpleasant because (even according to its report) no-one knows why the Sky News reporter is off work: it may be because of stalking – it might equally be because she’s got bird flu.
FFS!

Story about Cameron’s speech. The HYS sample they use is:
“It’s frustrating Cameron feels the need to turn a financial crisis into a political spat.”
But if you actually go to HYS that comment doesn’t appear on the first ten pages of recommended ones; I can’t be bothered to trawl through them all. In fact, after the first page, which pretty much blames bankers, Cameron’s comments have generally gone down rather well. Can someone else complain about this; it’s useless me being the only one.
