Default news watch failed Olympic style - agree or disagree poll

news watch failed Olympic style 03.09.16

yes i may well be a kill joy
but the BBC have to take the plunge
my TV box i did nearly destroy
over a million times at it i did lunge.
this is not a full shilling
like my music choice it is selective
in no way was the BBC for filling
so happy on news watch others were objective.
you did deep throat
sorry to be so crude
sport did well and truly bloat
to the general viewer you was blatantly rude.
all day was draining
i had no escape
the special brew i was caning
its how i got through this rape.
for honesty you get a meddle
lets toast and i will pour you a scotch
it is a Olympic hill to peddle
from the village i praise BBC news watch.

Newswatch where they discuss this - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...watch-02092016

Yeah, BBC News coverage during the Olympics did get a bit 'tractor production is at record levels' at times.

I do sorta agree. The Olympics were great but like the guy said when there is wall to wall coverage of it all day on the BBC then you don't really need the vast majority of the news bulletins taken up with it as well, they should have been an opportunity to move away from the Olympics and focus on what else was happening in the world. It was the same with most of our media though, I remember the i newspaper's front page was once just a picture of Hoy with a headline about they hoped he would win a gold medal later. Then inside the newspaper there were about 8 pages of the 'news' section devoted to the Olympics and then you got to the actual sport pages and that was all Olympics as well
