Senior moments

Some interesting, understated points from news guru Stewart Purvis in Roger Bolton's latest Beebwatch podcast. 

On GB News: "It seems to me an interesting situation where a channel which is heavily loss-making is being funded by somebody who has very clear views which it appears happen to coincide with the views which are expressed on that channel."

On the merged BBC News Channel, nearly all verified: “I find it extraordinary that what likes to think of itself as the biggest broadcast news operation in the world - which is pretty much what the BBC says it is - cannot manage to produce a UK news channel of its own without merging it with something else."
