AUNTY SAYS...

..sorry.

The BBC's idea of an apology

I might note that, this having caught my eye at the time, this is the first time I have seen the reality of what happened. Odd, but not surprising it is from a blog that does not follow the current MSM herd.

I also rather suspect that, whatever else, the next time the BBC features a claim that fits with its group think world view, this example might well end up being quoted quite a lot.

As a 'stakeholder' required to co-fund its professional, objective, factual output, in my name (being British 'n all), I'd say that is not really what I had/have in mind for my national broadcaster.

It is not like emerging various truths, enhancing narratives, interpreting events are alien events for Aunty or, sadly, very rare.

Sorry. Devalued.

A poster reckons another apology is in order. I felt otherwise, and got a new acronym at least...

Yes, that should sort it. Just pop over to Mr. Robinson's blog to see how the notion is being received...

A sorry lot indeed.

I think that, with the example set by our media-politico media establishment of late, from Dear Leader to Mr. Ross, etc, I may have to have a wee chat with my boys about what counts as an apology, and what is just an apology for one.

How long before we get apology advocates on the public purse in this new, POOR 'process over obvious result' society that is being spun... staffed, paid, bonussed and pensioned?

Edit, or

OK apologises for doctored Victoria Beckham photo

Is anything what is it seems these days?

And does everyone get off by merely saying sorry?

Thank you, and good night

'Oh, what a tangled web that's spun, when saying all, and nothing, is how one, or others, have their fun.'

Ah well, rules were made to be broken.

But why do I feel my twins should still view the Menendez brothers as a bad example?

What good is a moral compass when the political one points any way the wind blows, and the media one is aiming straight through the bottom of the barrel, the cellar floor and is halfway to the PRC by now.

Apologies, for anything (from governments to employee behaviours) are not worth much more than such weasel words as 'unacceptable', 'aren't good enough' or those cited above, plus too many more.

Especially when we are in an era of no accountability despite responsibility still bringing many, index-linked rewards.
