Title: News Online blacklist?
Post by davidfrance on Jun 1^st, 2010, 10:49am

I think I have been blacklisted by the strange people who run BBC News On Line. I must have complained too much about their appalling standards of English, lack of local knowledge and poor news judgment because they don't bother to reply to me even when I request a reply. Does anyone else have this problem? Here's one I didn't complain about: The weekend of the 21st/23rd June there were eleven motor cycle fatalities in England arising from ten different accidents. They were all reported in the regional and local pages but no-one centrally or elsewhere connected them to make what should have been a big national story....as when three people die in a coach crash two days later. It's not just the Beeb ignoring this appalling loss of life. I couldn't get either The Times or Telegraph interested either. If they'd been killed in a train crash it would have been a story for days. Wouldn't it? Incidentally there were about 8 other fatalities involving cars, lorries and pedestrians the same weekend. Tragedy on this scale ....and nobody cares? >:(
