Lazy BBC

The BBC are very, very lazy.

On News 24 today they are covering a news story involving a crackdown on youth drinking.

As is the norm with the news, they have sent someone out to be in a bar and cover the story. Today it is the turn of BBC Manchester to do the coverage. So where do they go? The VERY NEAREST bar to the BBC building in Manchester - Kro2 Bar. They couldn't go a bit further afield just to give a good impression to Mancunians - they go all of a minutes walk from their front door.

Of course this should be no surprise to me, in Cambridge they also do the same, and everything is done on or around Hills Road where they are based. To some people this would be a sensible economy drive, but to me it just seems like laziness.
