On Saturday evening, the news was alive with reports of the Train Knife
Attack.
Turning on the Bbc Red Button on Sunday morning, the headline was about ex-Prince Andrew having escorted some entrepreneurs inside Windsor
Castle at some time. Really headline stuff.
After the end of Laura Kuenssberg's show, this had been deposed by
another item about the same ex-Prince. No mention of the train attack.

Yawn.

Not really any new news since last night , I doubt the press conference
will say much and just praise all the emergency services.

But there was NO mention this morning on Red Button about the attack.
What attack? Even after 10 am.

Plenty of coverage on normal news coverage by now, usually it is
complaints about "breaking news" having old items displayed!

More likely the editors of the Red Button do not work on Sunday's so it
has to be done by a news sub-editor - when he or she can find the time!

With a major story like that, they are probably very busy with
reporting, mobilising and moving resources, arranging calling out people
from home etc.

'Red Button' is probably very low priority - how many use it, I know I
never do even though I was regular user of CEEFAX with Page 150 always
on cancel and ready to pop up.

I always wonder if the people at ITN / ITV get frustrated at not having
a news channel where they can cover major news stories, I presume
adverts get priority.

They certainly don't get priority on Sky News, I've even seen 30 second
ads get chopped half way through, such is the scramble for all news
channels to beat the others by micro seconds !

I used to watch the BBC News Channel more than Sky News. Since the BBC
decided theirs should also be a "world" News Channel this has moved
heavily towards Sky. Partly because these days I actually prefer the Sky content and presenters. Amazingly also *because of* ad breaks.

I don't mind ads on Sky because they pay for the service. With the BBC I
am sick of endless/y watching the same trailers, captions, jingles, etc
while they show ads outside the UK. Even more surprisingly, Sky often
forego their breaks during a developing major story whilst much of the
time the BBC seem unable to respond rapidly.

The legacy media is a propaganda machine and a disgrace.

The legacy media is a propaganda machine and a disgrace.

By a curious coincidence, a few months ago, I subscribed to The
Telegraph's YouTube channel, because their coverage of the Ukraine War
is actually quite good, but earlier today I unsubscribed from them,
because their coverage of UK & US politics is a propaganda machine and a disgrace. Thus I am not going to bother to watch their 20 minute video.

For myself, I wish the media would stop trying to cover everything that
Trump SAYS, and concentrate only on what he actually DOES, because his
aim is to hog the media limelight to the max, and their slavish coverage
of his endless verbal vomit is thus unwittingly helping him dominate US
and world politics to the exclusion of more rational voices. Most of
what he says is 'stream of consciousness' - if you can call the mental
state of a senile man, who is at least bordering on dementia if not
actually suffering seriously from it, 'consciousness' - and who anyway
has always had so much disregard for actual truth that what he says
today is worthless to report because tomorrow he will say the opposite
of it, and perhaps even try to deny that he said it at all.

He lies and self-contradicts so much that it would be ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
for any media coverage not to appear to 'doctor' anything that he says, because so much of it is irrelevant or irrational and disconnected from
the truth that in order for a rational man to write a rational story
about what Trump says, he'd almost have to leave out huge chunks of it
in order to produce something rational and understandable to his
audience. If you're not happy with that, blame Trump, not the BBC.

Yawn.

Perhaps they are waiting for verification it really happened.
