Whats gone wrong with BBC News

    BBC seems to have suddenly turned into FOX with opinionated reporting. Has anyone else noticed a deterioration in standard with this agency.

    I first noticed during the Paris attacks. A report included the sentence: "I noticed alot of 'us vs them' sentiment. I news report should never have a personal view point like that. It's like the BBC are trying to absolve themselves of any responsibility to the content of their publications.

    Then there is the numerous reports casting Russia in a bad light.

    Tonight I read a report on the Taliban making grounds on Sangarin
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35153499
    It says ; "Sangarin is a rich opium producing region meaning a potential revenue bringing to the Taliban. "
    Bull****. Everyone knows the Taliban clamped down on opium and production levels increased in the years they were ousted.

    And when I want to link a report via Facebook conveniently it links a different story than the one I was on.
