BBC new

I have come to totally dis-trust BBC TV news, It seems that whole stories can be based solely on speculation or guess work. And the fact that a "royal" reporter may be stood outside Clarence house for example, simply doesn't add any weight or truth to a story.
If I want to know the fullest from any story, I listen to BBC radio 4, I find it reports as accurately as possible, and spends a decent amount of time on each item of news (by which I mean world affairs, not celebrity gossip)
On Pprune, we can be a bit over critical sometimes, I.E. if reporting on an MR Nimrod, a pic of an R is shown, then that's understandable (but not accurate in these "google" day's. But to show the wrong aircraft altogether, or a helicopter instead of a fixed wing, or as recently shown, a Soviet aircraft instead of R.A.F. (Oh yes, not forgetting ALL rotary is Army!!).
