    My back's demolished, I've been listening to the Beatles without earmuffs, I'm excited about NTTD and I've been absent lol

    In other news, my dad gave me his white on white Stratocaster with a maple neck after considering selling it after it had been sitting for so long after he gave up on playing. I'm thinking I'm gonna try again.

    Jesus. Kinda forgot my password for this site lmao

    I'm sorry to hear about your back. I've struggled with back problems in the past, and it's a really bad experience. Even the most everyday things get difficult and painful. Get better soon! :) :)

    Thank you, all. Back in action.

    As requested, there she is. It's as good as a doorstop as George Harrison would put it but it's a looker.
    Hope it'll be more than that soon.

    On this morning's bbc radio 4
    Today programme. They predicted
    With the virus threat that ....
    There will be 50,000 deaths a week
    And crematoriums will have to run
    24 hours a day !!!
    I do think the media is hyping these
    "Facts" to feed this story :#

    I can't imagine that someone from BBC staff repeats these old theories that are ghosting around for weeks.

    Maybe someone calling in mentioned this or they quoted from these conspiracy theories - and then you can hardly blame BBC for that

    Obviously I'm the one at fault but sadly the
    Today programme is bbc radio 4 flagship
    News show, not a phone in one and that
    Quote was from their own correspondent.

    It's irresponsible to spread such stories. I think our media has behaved most of the time, but when a scientist said 20-70% of the population could get Covid-19 a newspaper ran the headline "70% can get the virus". :#

    I am trying to find the passage in doubt here:

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000fw0m

    Please let me know roughly the right timestamp so that I can narrow it down (it's a 3 hour show).
    So far from what I am hearing, the reporting about Corona worldwide is professional, responsible, accurate and careful - I have no indicator of any sensationalist speculations so far but will come back if there is.

    Lately bbc news seems no longer to
    Be impartial on many stories and only
    Broadcasts one side of the argument.
    Rather than being impartial giving a
    Counter point to the discussion .
    We've seen it in the Brexit debate, when
    They very clearly went with the remain
    Camp.
    With Climate Change they regularly put
    Out the climate extremist view with no
    Counter opinion and now with the latest
    Health scare story, they've decided to go
    With the alarmist " This is the end of the
    World " opinion, not bothering with the
    Fantastic impartial news and facts service
    It once was .
    Just one more reason why so many Britains
    Want an end to the licence fee, as the BBC
    Is no longer an impartial news service

    I have no idea of the time point, I know it was before " Thought for the day " that's as close as I can remember, although it gives me immense
    Pleasure knowing your dislike of me would have you take three hours out of your life, simply to prove me wrong . :))

    If this helps, at about 08.10 they usually have a feature on the day's biggest topic so that would be my guess.
    At 25 past each hour they have a sport report, followed at around the half hour by headlines so you can skip those parts.
  • Number24Number24 NorwayPosts: 21,704MI6 Agent
    When it comes to climate change I'm with the BBC. The evidence gathered by scientists is now very clear. I don't see why they should pretend there's any doubt because the internet, a very small number of scientists, some of the media and right-wing politicians say otherwise. To quote the TV series "The Newsroom": "If the Republican Party one day says the Earth is flat, our headline won't be Republicans and Democrats disagree on flatness of Earth" There's nothing extreme about believing in science.

    Found it:

    1:42:30
    Everyone please listen and make his own conclusion how this "outragement" works *
    In their press review, they are quoting the Telegraph with those numbers (up to 50.000 deaths and crematoria working 24 hours).

    Sorry, TP, I call you bs with your everlasting battle against the BBC.

    - It was not their correspondent
    - they where quoting someone else (The Telegraph)

    and as reporters, it's their job to REPORT different angles by disclosing who said what.

    * it works like that:
    Take a small snipped out of context from a reputable show from a reputable station, blow it up and use it to discredit the entire branch.
    And mock on people like me who doubt it that it really happened like that.

    Case closed!

    I've made a point of reading a few of
    These climate reports etc, to get some
    Facts and it's far from 100% agreement .
    Here's an easy question, man is increasing
    Earth's temp, ok. Then why is the temp on
    Mars also on the increase ?
    Apart from the conspiracy secret Mars based
    I don't think we have any cars or factories there .

    I've never heard the Mars argument before, but the climate deniers are sure getting desperate! There is a near consensus in the science world and the facts on the ground supports what's in their reports.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    That's the point I'm trying to make.
    Anyone who takes the time to
    Investigate these reports, will find
    That the scientific community is as
    Divided as the public, but it suits the
    Media to sell " Bad News" .
    All I'm saying is there are always two
    Sets of opinions, I'd personally like to
    Hear both, then make up my mind.
    Just look at the language used " climate
    Deniers " ? The term Denier used to be
    Only used about the holocaust, now it's
    Anyone who disagrees with Greta.

    I am waiting for a correction of yxour previous post. That's the least decent thing that you could do.

    I don't expect you to apologize for mocking at me after I have told you that you are probably wrong.
