I’m not even trying

Saturday, 6th September, 2008

It probably looks like I’m picking on the BBC at the moment, given that this is my third recent post about how bad their news service is, but they just make it so easy. I’m not spending hours and hours reading their content, looking for things to pull them up on. They are just so inept that you don’t have to look particularly hard to find things that they have fucked up.

Take this little gem:

That’s 17 words. They have managed to make a complete mess of writing 17 words.

    The B.B.C. ticker on news 24 always amuses me. It acts as both the summation of stories and the leader for stories yet to come. However, see if you can spot the numerous faults with this ticker. Note, not all are grammatical.

    *”Scotland, Wales Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland announce a tournament between the nations in Dublin for 2011″*

    That’s it, verbatim.

    As for your post Reportage, don’t get me started.

    I started writing a response but it is probably far more lengthy than all the posts on this blog.
