[QUOTE="Blackeye, post: 1145017, member: 416201"] Although this is the wrong forum for this discussion, I must say that we satellite nerds are best equipped of anybody to receive balanced news reporting from many different countries and then form our own opinion. It is the job of news journalists to report the facts and provoke discussion to uncover all aspects of a story - I personally think the BBC does this very well, at least as well as the German, French and Italian news channels that I consume. That said, it is easier than ever nowadays to 'clip up and post' an abridged version of someone's research, presenting a biased opinion of what was said to suit ones own purpose. In this case, the presenter said: “Local protesters and mainstream politicians were joined by conspiracy theorists and far right groups.” Exactly: "joined by" .... and this happens with many perfectly acceptable and legal marches and demonstrations around the world. In my opinion, this report appears to have been, shall we say, 'twisted' by GB News - a news channel not known for its neutral political stance - to take a shot at the competition. Swing that dish and take time to find out how impartial BBC reporting actually is, or not! Getting back to the main subject, I think it is a welcome cash-saving measure to combine the Beeb's news channels. They are monsters with a large appetite that must be continually fed, which takes up enormous resources and significant investment 24/7/365. Good decision, in [I]my[/I] opinion. [/QUOTE]
