Will Channel 4 please cancel all other shows & put C4 News on 24/7 as a matter of urgency, until this crisis is over
The UK needs a news programme which tells us the truth & C4 News does this
All SKY & BBC News do is scramble round looking for someone who will LIE for the gov't

Tinfoil hat on order for you mate

Wakey wakey, BBC...
everyone else has stopped repeating the privately briefed excuses of this shambolic goverment and started reporting the *fact* that it has failed to implement a coherent strategy

I find the difference is the bbc report what people say. Channel 4 report opinions on it.
-
People read and watch what they want to see and hear.

Like that example during the Election campaign you mean? Where Kuenssberg reported that a Labour activist had thumped a Tory worker outside a hospital?
That was reporting what a person said. The person in question being Dominic Cummings.

Or more pertinently when the government finally realised that 'herd immunity' was a disaster and was set to kill 500000 people, she reported that 'the science has changed'.
No the science of a highly contagious and fatal virus stayed the same - the farcical government reaction to tackling changed.
-
And that is the problem.
Kuenssberg and to a lesser extent, Peston, deliver "news" which is actually information drip fed out to them by No 10. It is shit, lazy journalism, whereby they cannot do hyper critical stuff because their access would be cut off.
And that is me speaking as someone who is a big supporter of the BBC. I just think it has totally lost it's way on what political reporting should be.

You mean it's no longer telling you the things you want to hear.

No SS. I meant what I actually said.

BBC seem happy to go from one promise to the next.
They’re covering it like a Tory party election campaign.
Take the top line from the day’s briefing and lead the news with it.
Hopeless. . The real story is what is happening right now.

The truth?

Why don’t the people who dislike the BBC reporting just listen to ITV instead and see what they have to say.

I don't disagree, they should check their information in political reporting certainly a little more than they do. I do though think channel 4 build up a narrative that often suits them, certainly did in Brexit coverage, not so in others. I'm not a huge fan of news presenters spouting opinions of any kind on any side of an argument, there are plenty of other programmes and shows for that. I'm not a huge fan of Sky news in a lot of ways but I do often like that they'll have debates with conflicting opinions which allows the viewer to form their own opinion.
Foxbat, the BBC are reporting what the politicians and leaders of the country say, it is right they do that.

Is it right that they cut the daily briefing though?

What? I'm saying people want to hear the truth. Not according to anyone, just y'know the truth...?

I form all my educated opinions from some bloke I heard on the radio the other day.

I have only seen that happen once.

RE:

that's fine as long as they are explaining it is what the leaders of the country are saying
and not reporting it as actual fact.

I would have thought someone like you would have watched the TV Iberian, it is easier with pictures at your age.
