From J. P. Gilliver@21:1/5 to All on Thu Feb 22 23:52:42 2024
This BBC obsession (maybe others too) with having a big red banner
across the bottom of the screen on news coverage is really beginning to
piss me off. It has for some time - I think I first became really
irritated by it during the lockdown, when they always took far too long
to turn it off during briefings. Now, I'm watching the lunar landing
things online - a three view screen, coming from NASA (so they're not
kidding anyone anyway: the banner reminds me of when they obscured
TVAM's banner with their own for a Princess Diana something all those
years ago); all the BBC red stripe does is a pretty good job of
obscuring a large part of two of the views.
