An insight into the editors’ reading habits
As a key plank in the BBC’s efforts to ensure accountability and engage their audience in the digital age, the Editors blog has done sterling work this week, with a single post about Manuelgate by a Radio One editor suggesting we’re over-reacting. As someone in the comments put it, Answering all the questions you never asked.
Interesting, too, is the ‘BBC in the News’ sidebar on that page. As we know, the BBC has been in every newspaper all week, but where do the majority of the links come from? That’s right, folks, the Guardian and the Independent – the national papers with the lowest circulation figures in the land, outside Broadcasting House.
“As someone in the comments put it, Answering all the questions you never asked.”
Couldn’t find that comment, so evidently it’s been moderated under the carpet, along with an unhealthily large number of others.
“The Editors” blog started out alright, but now it is just boring. It’s basically just a corporate report. All glossy with little if anything of any interest. People who can even bother to go through the heavy handed moderation must be bored out of their tits to engage with that website.
Young people think exactly the same as the rest of us. As evidenced on student forums.
Weak attempt from the beeb
Did you know that penguin shit can be seen from space?
Not one penguin shit of course. Because space is a long way away and from that distant a single pile of penguin poo would be hard to see.
But there are so many penguins, all crapping at the same time, the resulting ‘group kak’ can be seen from space.
This is why penguins couldn’t take over the earth. Because a satellite could see what they were up to straight away.
This also goes some way to explain what astronauts do in space in the name of science. The look out of the portholes at penguin shit.
