BBC News appear to have sacked nearly all of their best presenters and they are now milking each segment to such a degree that I often have to resort to Aljazeera for a full round up of the news. A piece/segment that would have taken no more than 45 seconds previously, now takes several minutes with talking head interview after interview with uninteresting, non-descript personas that can offer little if any further insight into the piece that has clearly reached the end of it's course. It is evident they are doing this as each anchor has a wedge of paper containing a raft of often trivial, irrelevant 'filler' questions and often, one can actually see greying boredom wash across the faces of those being interviewed. This is not what we pay a license fee for, and we certainly don't pay a license fee so that senior news executives can be paid over £300K!
