    Just watched the local news regarding the local railway landslips and the BBC presenter put on a sarcastic tone when he said Network Rail were saying climate change was a contributory cause.  Having been privy to conference calls regarding the slips, the level of rainfall is far above the average norm and a definite contributory cause.

    Didn’t feel very impartial reporting too me.

    The BBC’s coverage of the “living wage” increase is a pretty perfect example of client journalism- no real evaluation, just government quotes repeated unquestioned and no mention at all of the fact that this was actually the breaking of the promise to increase it to £9 by 2020, or that the only reason this year’s increase is so “big” is because the previous few years have been low. Oh and just a couple of lines acknowledging the fact that the “living wage” isn’t in fact anything like the living wage.

    Two versions of this story, one from the BBC and one from Israel National News.

    The BBC version (and most of the UK coverage) concentrates on groundless allegations that the Cypriot police and courts are corrupt rather than the effect on the victims that would have been a big part of BBC coverage in other cases, whereas the Israeli version takes the same line that the BBC would have of this were a British court.
