So the BBC Forensic Journalism Hub yesterday became 'BBC Verify'. Eyebrows across other parts of the BBC and in other news organisations will have travelled north when it was revealed that 60 staff working on various types of 'verification' across News had been winkled out of corners and onto a display shelf in the Giant Department Store of News Content; Newsgathering had probably used OSINT to track them down and bring them under control.
As if to demonstrate her transition from reality to a bonkers BBC world, CEO Deborah Turness told staff: "We’ll start small and grow".
Presumably today's effort will be a measured piece on the Catastrophic Car Chase of Manhattan (did they get off the island ?), so traumatic that the taxi driver involved was the coolest man on tv last night. Or perhaps there was more than one taxi driver. Verify, please, BBC.
