Media coverage of Prince Phillips passing.

Nice try.

According to the form you linked to it was to "register a complaint".

An apology does seem due.

@Pale Rider Please dissect the wording of the form because to most people it is asking you to enter your email address to register a complaint about this.
THIS being described in the previous sentence.

Remarkable interaction, but not worth continuing

Yeah, the wording on the form is explicit enough. I wonder if PR is just a troll like BJ. Or even BJ himself.

WHERE DO I COMPLAIN ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF COVERAGE THIS FORUM IS GIVING TO THE BBC COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE??

Gossip from another place:

Apparently 116 people wrote to the BBC complaining that the BBC was making it too easy to complain!

If true, I don't know what to say ...

BBC now reporting it had '100,000 complaints' and the complaint form wasn't even in place 24 hours before they removed it.
BBC2 lost 66% of its audience.

BBC 'receives 100,000 complaints' over Prince Philip coverage - BBC News

" BBC One's audience also dropped six per cent week-on-week during the coverage about Prince Philip, while BBC Two lost two-thirds of its audience, with just 340,000 people tuning in at any time between 7pm and 11pm.

The BBC put a dedicated form on its website later that evening to allow viewers to complain about the TV coverage, in recognition of the volume of complaints.
The form was removed the following afternoon, after the number of complaints began to fall, the corporation said."

Why would one watch BBC2 if the same programme is available on BBC1? Of course BBC Two lost all their viewers!

Henophobia

Of course, if you suffered from henophobia, you wouldn't describe yourself as 'one'

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Can I complain about people complaining about how you complain about complaining?

Must admit, I have not read EVERY post in this thread, so, someone may have already said this, but,... I thought latest Private Eye Cover hit the right tone.

There’s a curious thing going on with the BBC’s reporting for the four nations.
Below are the broadcaster’s headlines for the UK, England, Wales, N. Ireland and Scotland respectively.

What’s going on? 🤔

I shall be celebrating today, though nothing to do with the death of Stavros.
