Tbf, was your choice to allow push notifications. Probably a slow news day.

I wish this was the case, but the BBC news output has really dropped off a cliff the past few years. Going by the notifications I was getting a few months ago before I finally killed them off, they are pretty much reporting only on asinine shit about royals, people killing themselves and the occasional weird article that tries to put a shine on what our shitshow of a government is up to.

The BBC intended to educate and inform is unfortunately dead.

I mean they’re meant to be non-partisan, but if I recall, the Tories popped a bunch of high level execs in to skew things a year or three back.

Definitely not quite as impartial as it should be, and absolutely feels like the quality has dropped off since before the pandemic.

Cameron changed the rules of the BBC charter in 2015, and installed a load of Tory affiliated people. They first elevated Laura Kuenssberg to political editor, they then swapped the long time DG Tony hall for Tim Davie, someone affiliated with the Tories for decades. Then of course we had the Robert Sharp stuff with Boris. And we don’t need to go into the drop in editorial quality.

The BBC is compromised

Pretty much if something does not fall under the category of “might need my full attention within 5 minutes”, notifications are going to be off. So basically I have notifications on for all of my messaging channels (with most chats on mute), bank, security apps.

If theres any news worthy of a notification I expect the warning sirens to be on full blast and emergency broadcasts on every channel.

Don’t worry. Thanks to Ground News I’m up speed on royal rectal insertions. For only the price of a cup of coffee you too can get instant and unbiased updates on the Kussy.

EDIT: Yes, that means “King’s boy pussy”

I really cannot wait for CRISPR injections I can self administer to induce targeted damage to my brain in order to forget the things I read sometimes.

I choose to believe you’re reacting to the advert for Ground News and not the allusions to royal rogering.

I read the word “kussy” and my brain deciphered it as “king (charles) boy pussy” and I’m now looking for some bleach to drink.

Do we have any updates on Charles’ ass? It’s hard to focus when there’s such uncertainty looming…
