Anyone else get their news from BBC news website ? I've noticed spelling mistakes aplenty recently. This would have been unthinkable until recently. Is this the ugly head of AI rearing itself ?
I'm the one that usually misspells.. Or is it mispells ? |  | | |  |

According to the match report on the Sheffield Utd game . Isaac Price missed a chance to make it 2.1 at the death .
Anyone heard of him ? |  | | |

Isaac Price is the West Brom player, isn't he? There was one a few weeks ago where Jimmy Dunne was called 'Richard Dunne'. Luckily we're not quite at the point where we're putting 46-year-olds in the back. |  | | |

Not anymore, to get BBC news (in US) I now have to pay $50 a year. There's other websites. |  | | |

Their football reporting has been suspect for a while - a few years ago Hibs were playing Molde in the Europa Conference thingy and the BBC kept referring to them as Malmo.
They also said that a Celtic player who got a yellow card would miss the second leg of a European game when it was already the second leg (and they were giving the aggregate score in brackets.) |  |

I will give BBC news a quick one over most days but get news from other sources. I lost trust in the BBC's so called 'impartiality' long ago. |  | | |

I find the BBC hopeless!
Just on News 24, it strikes me their coverage is more about filing airtime than bringing the news. They often spend way too long on stories; the breadth of the coverage is decreasing; some of their stories on Africa are banal and the coverage amateur. Its a rare day when coverage is not subjected to: dead air; presenters staring into the wrong cameras; or the tickertape/graphics being inaccurate!
Sorry I'm just going to break off here as news is coming in of an incident of no consequence from America - cue pics of tubby arsed Yank coppers milling around doing nada - and the presenter talking drivel for an incident that none of the US networks would skip a beat about if it was happening anywhere else in the world.
Then the BBC app, why for instance, when you hit the news button, is the 'US and Canada' the first option, and not the UK? I sometimes just look for the front pages of the English newspapers, as thats all your need to read and guess whats going on in the world, some days they forget to print them! Football coverage often looks like they're raking it off other sources.
Like many people: I go elsewhere for news, usually Francec24 (very underrated) and Al Jazera. |  |

I find the BBC news tough going, the thing about splicing Trumps speech together was In all honesty appalling, I mean who do you believe anymore?
I use Times radio when In the car.
I just cant handle Talk sport, by accident whilst channel hopping In the car Jason Cundy insulted my ear drums for Three seconds, nearly had to pull over. |  |

I use the BBC website a lot for news and sport and appreciate it. I haven't noticed it, but if its spelling has drifted in quality, I believe it's no different from any other outlets, possibly yes, using predictive text or other AI tools.
I also read The Times and Private Eye, so I believe I get some balance and depth in reporting and often feel that the Beeb is bending over backwards to be impartial. I find it a pity that other media, are waging such a political campaign on the institution.
It's always amusing to look at the front pages of other newspapers to see that some (Mail, Express, Mirror for a start), are not much better than comics and definitely not impartial. |  | | |

We may have got something out the Utd game if bloody Isaac Price had scored late in that game to make it 2-1. Bloody West Brom players. Worse than our own! |  |

Uninstalled the BBC News 'app' at least 5 yrs ago for grammar and spelling.
Figured that if they can't proof read for basic error then no bugger is checking the actual content either.
I also started to notice the stories they don't report, or are very slow to report when they finally do.
The organisation has really changed in the last 10 years hence why so many are no longer willing to pay the license fee.
If you want to see what this once 'Great' institution does to people without a license then go have a look at a YT channel called 'Black belt barrister' they are essentially running a racket at this stage using legal speak and threats of debt collection to scare people into buying a license they may not need.
Can't be fixed has to go. | |

Breaking BBC news, Colin; misspells has grown up to be a wicked which. | |

the BBC has joined many other UK publications and sites in that, especially regarding close-proximity politics (no one shouting in your ear when you're doing a deep dive on Tibetan yak herder strikes), reading their output will have you less informed than when you began.
out of habit i've continued using their sports page but even that's gone downhill rapidly in terms of quality and content. Mostly in relation to their longer written pieces, 'analysis', and bait headlines. [Post edited 9 Mar 21:14]
