BBC criticised over Goody coverage

Posted by: RFM on: March 25, 2009

In an interesting example of doublethink, The Telegraph has a story about the number of complaints received by the BBC over their “excessive” coverage of Jade Goody. They did go a bit overboard on Sunday – they claim this is because it was a slow news day. But they’ve received 69 complaints.

The Telegraph can’t resist reporting these complaints, whilst at the same time offering (in the sidebar) links to their RSS feed on Jade, video coverage of the wedding, photo coverage of the wedding, and a “Jade Goody in Pics” gallery. There’s also a box-out with six Jade Goody-related stories. This is The Telegraph, remember, not The Sun or The Mirror.
