Dr. Zorders 1,272 Posted June 17, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/36545757/calvin-harris-unfollows-taylor-swift-as-hiddleston-pictures-appear-online Wow, someone unfollowed someone on (anti-)"social" media. This is essential news and the kind of superior reporting that only the holy BBC can bring us. How dare you shut that down Cameron? Oh wait, actually, it's a complete waste of time, cos if it really is that big news, "cool kids" shouldn't need the middle-aged sad acts at the BBC to tell them should they? f**k off and die, Al-JaBeeba. Thanks. Um, now i got that rant out of the way... Anyone got any other thoughts to offer on our "national treasure"? We should use this thread to talk about it and its cuts, etc. under the Tories. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,941 Posted June 17, 2016 I think Newbeat is best seen at the BBC's attempt at a Showbiz mag disguised as news rather than actual source of news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted June 17, 2016 BBC has gone rapidly downhill since pandering to cocklords and wastrels. 5live used to be 'News and Sport from the BBC '. Now it's News, Sport and Gossip. Fucking phone-ins, why the fuck do I care what June (18) from Laaandan thinks about rail price increases. There ain't a rail station within 50 miles , thank fuck. Even more thankfully, June (18) is about 400 miles further away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,093 Posted June 17, 2016 I don't think the BBC is doing anything wrong like sure that article is trival drivel but there's a market for this trival drivel all they are doing is appeasing their readers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted June 18, 2016 Their coverage on brexit has been unreal. Grilling brexiteers and ganging up on the brexit guest,then allowing the remainin to just talk and spread fear occasionally throwing a softball question.That rubber faced woman on daily politics is disgusting and the worst. I'm not a fan of George Galloway but when he was on there she conducted 95% of the interview trying to divide brexit voters and personally attack George . He even said , you said you wanted me on here to talk of EU referendum and its just been personal attacks. You could even see that smugness on her face as she knew what she was doing.Fact is the BBC receives funding from the EU which is illegal under the charter and the BBC can in no way be unbiased in this arguement since it has financially benefited from us remaining in the EU.

YoungWillz 21,122 Posted June 22, 2016 Have to say we have reached 22 June and there is no BBC Been And Gone page in the Magazine as far as I can tell for May. I think we might have hoovered up Corry Brokken by that means. Maybe we'll get two months worth in July? Or is this another thing the BBC have dispensed with?

Lady Grendel 139 Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) Oi! I'm fine with intense debate about the amount of life left in public figures but the lack of all upper case letters for BBC at the head of this thread is doing my head in. Can someone sort it? Tried and tried to edit it but it won't let me. I have logged in and out and come back after a couple of days but I think there is a problem, one of the many, from the last upgrade. An Admin might be able to sort it. I could capitalise the L's in the sub heading but not change the title. Edited June 23, 2016 by Lady Grendel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
