> The BBC
Have you visited the BBC News website recently?
They even have Daily Mail style headlines now, where a random word is capitalised for emphasis:
"Up to NINE terrible things happened"
I browse with an ad blocker, so those are actual headlines, not Outbrain/Taboola (ugh) links.
They still do a lot of 'hard news' stuff (along with the vast majority of their output which is straight 'normal news'). For example, just this week: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/resources/idt-sh/g4s_brook_house_i...
No excuse. That crap is paid for with my taxes. They don't need to lower themselves to that standard.
That shit permeates, you know? The news side will look like that eventually.
I'd have thought taxes + license fee would be enough to avoid the race to the bottom, but here we are.
Try to steer their decisions with your voice.
And it seems to be far from unique to the BBC, you can notice it with all the national broadcasters (Though BBC being English and thus have a worldwide reach in its original form, is more noticeable outside of the UK).
