Kundenrezensionen
Great informational value
I really appreciate the thorough and detailed daily news reports. However, chapter marks would greatly improve the listening experience when pressed for time.
Quality Unbiased Coverage
BBC is consistently rated as being center or middle regarding bias, I appreciate the quality of the coverage and the factual reporting, rather than sensationalism. As another review has noted, chapters would be a welcome addition to improve the experience.
Disappointed at coverage of the global South and lack of critical journalism
Journalistic standards have alarmingly dropped in the BBC’s coverage of events in the global South and even in the UK itself. The coverage is so disturbingly biased and offers no different information, nuance, or perspective from the one that would be found on much more sensationalist platforms. A real shame.
