The front page is too full of reality TV, US news/sports, and garden variety human interest stories to fit this kind of thing in


slightly tangential, but at this point I think BBC News just needs to spun off into a visibly separate body from creative production. I wish it wasn't the case - I personally have no problem with BBC News - but it's just too big of an attack surface, and it's not worth sustaining if it risks the loss of probably Britain's greatest cultural asset for the sake of fucking news. amputate the limb before it kills the host


I haven't seen any TV coverage of this at all.


Neither have I, but that’s because I don’t watch TV. At least 80% of people in the U.K. don’t watch tv news.


Well that's ok, I guess they don't have to report on it anymore.


The bar set by GP comment is that the BBC “ignored this”. Any amount of coverage proves that to not be the case.

Have they reported on it enough? No. But that’s not what was being claimed.


That claim was preceded by the language "hardly covered this". You're being uncharitably literal.


Fascists are gaining power because people are allowed to be not literal enough, and they are allowed to use dog whistles and euphemism.


Sorry, I don’t understand what you are saying. Are you claiming that the person criticising the UK state media is a fascist? Or are you saying that the state media not covering these law changes adequately make them fascist?


None of those.


Ok, would you clarify for me?


Soviet media hardly covered Soviet labor camps, but it absolutely covered them!!11


Maybe next time, GP should be more precise with their words when they make two statements in one comment so low quality replies like these don’t have to exist.


Hey it's mentioned here on HN. That counts as being reported!?
