No excuse. That crap is paid for with my taxes. They don't need to lower themselves to that standard.

That shit permeates, you know? The news side will look like that eventually.

I'd have thought taxes + license fee would be enough to avoid the race to the bottom, but here we are.

Have you visited the BBC News website recently?

They even have Daily Mail style headlines now, where a random word is capitalised for emphasis:

"Up to NINE terrible things happened"

I browse with an ad blocker, so those are actual headlines, not Outbrain/Taboola (ugh) links.
