Fancy a laugh? Here ya go…
The BBC reports this… [Download the pdf here]
“Increasingly, programme makers in drama and documentary are seeking to use fictitious news bulletins as part of their story telling.
“This calls for judgment on two levels. First, is the proposed use likely to undermine the BBC News brand and its reputation for accuracy and impartiality, or carry risks for the credibility of the presenter? Second, is it likely to cause confusion or even anxiety in the audience?”
Well, you couldn’t really get much worse than this…

Now you’ve had your laugh,
What fantasy world do they live in, that they could really believe that the BBC has a reputation for accuracy and impartiality?
Incredible Isn’t it?
This self declared (but largely unjustified) belief rubs off on its “journalists” too, some of whom (you know, the important ones) file utter lobbox believing it’s “fair” and “balanced” simply because they work in the BBC.
Have a look at Justin Webb’s “awestruck” reports on Obama, examine the impartiality there by counting the number of times Webb critically analyses Obama’s declared policies as opposed to wanting to French kiss him.
Well, as they demonstrated here, one thing you can’t dispute, BBC comedy department pretty much leads the field.
