"comparing BBC journalists to people selling personal lifestyle as a product is insulting."

Be that as it may, the BBC has become exactly that. It used to be the place to get news - now it's a magazine selling stuff instead - and you can spot those particular 'articles' a mile off.

A sad but true reflection of what the BBC has become. :(

I still use BBC as one of the better European sources of information, after filtering mentally that it's (of course) tailored to UK audience. I'm not British, so maybe I wasn't paying as close attention as I should to see the decline in quality.

On a tangent, maybe worth it's own thread - can you propose a good European news site, in English? There's plenty of aggregators and crap-generators out there, but quality reporting is getting harder to find, and I'm grateful for any recommendation.

The Guardian. They're good quality, have great investigative journalism, and seem to care about things that actually matter ( e.g. environment and climate change, Panama Papers, Snowden, etc.)
