Can anyone explain to me the reasoning behind the BBC News channel's just having broadcast a fifteen minute infomercial about Dubai airport
The reasoning is that BBC News is f***ing sh*t and lost the plot behind what is real news some years ago.
It's rolling News-a-tainment trying to compete with SKY.
The fundamental problem with 24 hour news is that, when there isn't any news, they'll manufacture some or just read out whatever "spin" they are handed from No.10 as if they uncovered something using decent journalism.
I don't see much difference between a BBC news presenter, a BBC weather presenter and a Blue Peter presenter to be honest.
