IN DEFENCE OF THE BBC

The original post to this thread did not pick up the formatting in the source BBC page. The strange chronology & disjointed prose resulted from the clips under embedded photos being inserted into the adjacent text, out of context and repetitive. The similarly incongruent individual words like "Campaign" are the paragraph headings.

So I wonder at the veracity of the later post from Guest....."I had a look at the BBC News website it cited. Shockingly enough, the article here is cut and pasted verbatim, and the quality of reporting is as bad there as it looks here".....It just ain't so folks.

The BBC is usually a center of excellence, and is often the only source of reliable news in some parts of the world; we can't say the same for Radio Free Europe & our other mouthpieces.

So, BBC tried & convicted by the ill-informed. Townshend also ???
