BBC news note

Maybe just one sample but worth a note.

BBC Radio 4 news at 8 this morning leads with anti Corbyn story #1 from Sunday Times on antisemitism and then anti Corbyn story #2 from Observer on second referendum.

My take, there are other racism stories of interest. Corbyn supports conference policy. He prefers a general election. Most people understand this. Few will switch to another party on one issue.

This follows a week in which Farage has had more airtime on BBC than I can remember for any other launch event.

So this blog will have to do more about how broadcast works with newspapers. Even as print circulation declines. Maybe they need them so much they will invent equivalents.

More later.
