The Old Crem 3,582 Posted May 17, 2019 Wow, Didn't expect a third hit this week. Didn't get a breaking news tweet from any of the breaking news accounts of BBC, Sky News, LBC or the Mirror. I wonder who else on the list wouldn't get at least one of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282 Posted May 17, 2019 BBC website has nothing about the death of prize-winning author, however it does have stories on the deaths of 'Internet sensation' grumpy cat and a blonde former WWE wrestler and playboy cover girl with large breasts. Skewed priorities? 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torva Messor 278 Posted May 17, 2019 Maybe the BBC updates its obits once a day or less frequently after 18h00 UTC. Ashley Massaro's death was reported 14 hours ago, Grumpy Cat died on Tuesday. The BBC website posted Gillian Lynne's obituary nine hours after I read on Twitter about her passing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
