You only have to look at any major article on the BBC website to see how far standards at the BBC have fallen. Not aviation related, but the current headline is the quite horrific story about the 22 dead in the US university shootings today. The article is quite informative and pretty well written, but right at the bottom there is this:

Are you in the area? Did you witness the shootings? Send us your comments and experiences using the form below. If you have any pictures or video you can send them to yourpics@ bbc.co.uk.

If nothing else, it typifies how little the media care about those about whom they are reporting, when in the very midst of reporting what is a huge tragedy for hundreds of people they are still sniffing round for a scoop.

Shame on you, BBC.
