Classic BBC
« on: July 02, 2020, 08:52:35 PM »
Article on the Beeb Sport pages :

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/53267375

How many more errors?!!!

'Tom Curry, usually a flanker, stepped in for the 2020 Six Nations but may not be a long-term solution. Wasps' Nathan Hughes seems to have fallen out of favour.'

The summary at the bottom of the article is written by Chris Jones, but the article itself is not attributed.

Rather typical of the BBC's performance these days.  It is now distinctly sub-standard.  Is anyone else listening to the new Times Radio?  I find it refreshingly different but it is early days.

It's a shame as it's an otherwise good article.

Times Radio is like a red-top newspaper. Not very good.

A

Err.. Tom Curry is usualli a flanker so where's the mistake there.

The Telegraph also writes "And Jones has already experimented with a different style of No 8 by selecting Tom Curry, who plays as a flanker for his club Sale,""

So the BBC may have re-worded an article from The Telegraph.

I also can't see the quote about Hughes being at Wasps in the BBC article.. unless the article has been amended since you read it

That being said. . I stopped watching or reading BBC news years ago

They have corrected it to say Bristol's.

Mind you the original could be the reason Jones dropped him, if he thought he was still a Wasps player. :)
