Another BBC1 10pm bulletin dominated by 'planned news' last night. Of the 31 minutes available to cover things new and surprising, affecting me in some way, we got 10 minutes of Gloomy Orla pointing out that Haiti is a bit of a basket case, our favourite media editor Amol Rajan straying off-piste with a puff for a BBC2 documentary about social mobility, at around 3 minutes, and bits of an iPlayer interview with popular music artiste Billie Eilish, again around minutes, one of this years 100-women-as-selected by the World Service. Leaving 15 minutes for things that had actually happened since I last checked in with the BBC-News-as-Marketing-Service.
