Yesterday on Friday was a strange old day. It was a day that we should have been celebrating the end of that long ongoing controversy we call Brexit, now that our Government and the Leaders of The E.U finally signed the official Withdrawal Agreement, firstly in Brussels yesterday morning and then later in the day at No 10 Downing Street. And I suppose it goes to show the power of the Press and Media because this historic occasion almost became a non event thanks to our National Broadcaster the BBC. And what should have been a leading news story simply got buried away or as on the evening's main 6.00 pm News, was completely ignored altogether. And it's not surprising that the BBC came in for some heavy criticism yesterday for their disgracefully biased behaviour by trying to bury the story of the Withdrawal Agreement, a news story that quite frankly should have been a priority top story. Naturally I headed over to my favourite BBC Bias Blog 'IS THE BBC BIASED' where throughout the day they were monitoring the appalling behaviour by our national broadcaster. In fact I left one or two of my own comments there as I sometimes do when I feel that the BBC are taking liberties......again. But yes there are still a few loose ends that need tying up before officially leaving. A comprehensive deal on future relations with the E.U before the end of 2020 is still a bit vague. And now there's news that French Fisherman are demanding fishing rights for another 25 years. Next Friday on the 31st of January is the day we leave the E.U. And our tv schedules will be marking the moment and the hour when we leave at 11.00pm that evening. I should think that they'll all be wearing black armbands at the BBC next Friday. |

The BBC will never learn. They won't accept. They won't adapt. I think they may be in genuine trouble.
ReplyDeleteAh you're right there. Today (Friday) is going to be a truly horrible day for our disgraceful BBC.
DeleteI wonder if that Laura Keunsberg will be conveniently absent today just like she was last Friday when the final Agreement was signed.
They'll be a few partys tonight and no doubt a big gathering at Parliament Square.
Yes, things will have to change at the BBC if they're to survive
Thanks... Dee.
