This is the sort of thing that annoys me about BBC journalism:
According to the Lib Dems, 42% of schoolchildren who took part in a mock general election organised by the Hansard Society in 2,000 schools this year voted for the party.
Actually, it isn’t according to the Lib Dems, it’s according to the Hansard Society. The BBC can’t even state the facts without some weird post-modernist nonsense getting slotted in. Is it too much to expect journalists simply to state the facts without editorialising everything?
Always worth posting a correction to their website. They have been known to correct stories after publication.
Not in my experience. They don’t even send you an acknowledgement.
