"The BBC has squandered trust. But we will win it back" - a comment

The Guardian Comment is Free page reacting to Mark Thompson's article is garnering many comments. You can read my earlier take on this here.

I particularly liked this short but pithy one from RogueMale - "I'm afraid the BBC has become a joke in our household. In particular, the news and current affairs output is trivial. It's like watching Jonhn Craven's Newsround without the gravitas and intellectual thrust of the original presenter."

The comment is only spoilt by the misspelling of John!


I also like this one "The political coverage is so soft on Labour as to be a joke. Remember Little Ant and Dec interviewing Blair? Brown refused to go on Question Time. John Humphrys says there's no point having him on the Today programme because he just reads from a script irrespective of the question."
