Sadly this is true. The BBC is staffed with some truly incredible talent and some of the output is world class - however, the news sub-desks are more or less a few freelancers copy/pasting from Reuters/syndicated news at this point, and articles are certainly not thoroughly vetted.

Sheer inertia and brand cachet are carrying the BBC.

I'm not sure which outlet is entirely trustworthy in the UK currently.

Ahahahahaha.

In the past I would have said The Guardian is okay, but right now they really hate trans people.

The Guardian seem very lost: chasing the same slice of advertising pie as DM/Telegraph.

Channel 4 news are a small team with a heck of a punch - but there is not a lot of daily output.
