That's too f ing depressing to have the directors at the BBC against us as well (and against a liveable future for our children) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21098#post-363122 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:58:15 +0000 SRD 363122@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Given that all parties claim to support LTNs I found this action particularly weird. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21098#post-363121 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:46:12 +0000 LaidBack 363121@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><blockquote>if a journalist takes a public stance on issues that anger *certain media* outlets or political parties then it can lead to internal investigations.</blockquote></p> <p>My asterisks. I don't watch or listen to UK BBC due to a tendency to be London-centric with Daily Mail type opinions being featured too often.<br /> BBC Radio Scotland does try to review newspapers from here with a range of contributors (e.g. Andrew Tickell, Shona Craven).<br /> Radio 5 is just full of angry voices. Radio Scotland is often 'crashed' by this loud and angry channel - usually at newstime when they flick wrong switch at Pacific Quay!. Of course RS is just one of dozens of 'local' channels and not that important it seems. (Music jazz, folk, Vic Galloway etc is good with local gigs and artists that no-one else does nationally) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21098#post-363119 Wed, 31 Aug 2022 08:04:28 +0000 chdot 363119@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Broadcaster warns staff against expressing support for contentious cyclist-friendly scheme </p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/aug/30/jeremy-vine-breached-impartiality-rules-over-safe-cycling-remarks-says-bbc" rel="nofollow">https://www.theguardian.com/media/2022/aug/30/jeremy-vine-breached-impartiality-rules-over-safe-cycling-remarks-says-bbc</a> </p>
