The bbc, again.

The following article is why I do not have blind trust n anything the BBC reports:


The headline state the path is open, great. But read through the article and only 80% is actually open and the rest expected by the end of the year. Why not put that in the headline?

And don't get me started on the BBC Verified. I would have thought that everything they post, as a news broadcaster, would have been verified before being put out, but now I can only assume that anything that isn't verified must only be speculation and contain assumptions.

The Verified unit is there to check up on other media outlets especially social media, it's not their to verify the BBC output. Which is why I don't trust it. They pick holes in other people's output but look away when it's theirs.

They said nothing about the Panorama programme and when finally did comment it was to point out the above.

Of course they blindly ignored the fact that that scandal was wildly reported across social media and MSM so they should have verified it if not from the BBC side then that MSM and SM were reporting the facts correctly.

The BBC has demonstrated many time that it is not to be trusted in marking it's own homework.

Possibly because the headline is accurate and does what any headline does. Give the briefest summary. The text contains the detail. BBC Verify is an extremely valuable resource in these days of misinformation produced by AI. Of course the News Department verify things, separately, before being broadcasted. If they cannot they either don’t broadcast or add a caveat.

They said nothing about the Panarama programme because there was nothing to say. Nobody at all spotted the poor editing until much later and the story being told was entirely accurate.
 
I have opinions, certainly, but am not an organisation being quoted in the USA as representative of opinion there. If I tried to claim I was I would be rightly ridiculed.
The way, on occasions, you post suggest you KNOW rather than it being an opinion. Others whose opinions are different to yours, are wrong, according to you.
