What to expect from #BBC

Just see Dateline London on BBC News telly. It will be online for a few weeks so no clip to show.

But main points, probably more clips to support this anyway.

News agenda on Brexit set by Daily Telegraph. Janet Daley source of information and Boris explanation.

@StrykerMcGuire ‏ states that UK economy is hurt by Brexit. For the #BBC, @BBCCarrie states that "we have been round this" so no further discussion on the economy. So whatever happens or seems to be happening do not expect any clear statements from BBC. Various views given equal time or balanced by some fairly obscure process that would convince you if you watched BBC all the time ( source @robburl )

Bloomberg is available in the UK. For accurate reporting on the UK could be best to look at media based outside.

Corbyn and Labour not much mentioned. Janet Daley concerned Corbyn both too close to business and also a Marxist. Comments on May judgement in when to seek a comprimise cut  rather short imho. But in general, look for journalists reporting to media based outside the UK for most considered views.

BBC will probably ignore Corbyn most of the time and report mostly on potential Conservative leaders. Probably ok for Telegraph circulation but telly audience may head for the beach.

Just my take.
