Why is this a BBC top story? (LOCKED)

Great news on the economy, unemployment down again and wage growth up. Unfortunately there isn't enough space on the BBC main news page to herald this (2.19pm).

Probably because it is more important to highlight that a hacker is selling cheats for Fortnite and Ant McPartlin has got divorced and and a non story from Nicole Kidman that she didn't get harassed because of Tom Cruise.

Well done Auntie glad to see you got your priorities right.

probably come up short


on a true story, a painter that used to work with me had a fight with a dwarf bloke once.
He said it was like that boxing robots game, with the wee man punching up and him punching down both with straight arms.

Ended badly when he got punched in the nuts.

As I have mentioned several times on this site the BBC has a problem with free licenses for over 75s. It looks like they now realise this and are planning to scrap them.

As young people turn away from traditional TV towards subscriber services the BBC now admits its core audience is us oldies. A bit of an issue then to charge people who don't watch it whilst giving it free to your core and ever increasing / ageing customer base.

In fairness to the BBC it was Gordon Brown who brought in the free license still they could have scrapped it 2 years ago (and blamed the government) when Osbourne announced the government would no longer fund it.

But what about his wife? Did she close the car door on her own?

Top stories on the BBC news home page today:

Husband and wife go barefoot on Bondi beach.

A baby is the youngest person to have traveled through all 50 of the united states. Wow that was amazing doing that all on her own! Oh she didn't her parents took her, not very interesting then.

Stay glued folks next up cat gets stuck up a tree oh yeah and Anjem Choudary has just been released.

Another great non story from the BBC.

Headline: Gwenno 'sparks record numbers' in Cornish exams

Apparently the singer has sparked a massive interest in the Cornish language leading to record numbers taking the exam this year err that would be 77 people then.

This maybe important local news but why is it on the news homepage whilst dear old Auntie buries stories of national significance.

Yeah I thought the same. Every day, there are between 1-4 'social justice' stories on their homepage.

But it wasn't either a top story or even on their home page.

It was actually on a page that I didn't even know existed until following the link.

The BBC news home page had much more interesting stories on it today including the fact that Chris Hemsworth picked up a hitch hiker in Australia

Anyone see Dr Who yesterday? Even one of the BBC's flagship shows has now been turned into a feeble preachy propaganda exercise.

Rewriting history Dr Who style.
I despair.

I noticed it on the home page yesterday (or day before).

I haven't watched it yet but I have noticed that the BBC has bowed to tokenism in the latest incarnation with a female Doctor and three assistants of which one is white, one is black and one is Asian. To make sure that it incorporates as many groups as possible one of them has a disability.

Only thing missing is a lesbian but they did that one with the previous Doctor

the BBC ? ha.

i would expect the National Broadcaster to be more relevant, truthful, edgy and honest in places like Saudi Arabia.

Never mind the BBC. ITV, that other source of Identity politics propaganda has a woman being 'racially abused' on a plane as their top story on the evening news. Their top story mind.

What the hell is going on in the media?
