Newswatch

Good to see that the BBC is responding to public pressure that the women should be seen primarily as women rather than being defined as prostitutes. Obviously prostitution is an issue, but if we fail to present the women primarily as women we lose part of the picture.

Every time I saw the headline stating five prostitutes I would have to remind the TV they are women.

Dear Ed,

If you actually bothered to check you would find that public pressure was in favour of calling the dead women by their profession..namely as prositutes, this is because they were prostitutes and it is relevant to call them by that name, if only to warn other prostitutes to be careful.
I imagine that you also have problems calling terrorists terrorists, you most likely prefer that they be called 'victim'?, it is because of people like you and your PC rubbish that is making debate impossible between different viewpoints.
You only see your left-wing perspective and ignore all other opinions, and I can assure you that you are the one in the minority and that the rest of us have left the loony left where they belong in the past.

I have always wondered why BBC news correspondents have to speak necessarily in front of Number 10 Downing Street, the Scotland Yard, the Suffolk Constabulary etc. Doesn't this add to the budget of the BBC when their being present there is not really necessary. Don't people like me end up footing this bill without any particular advantage. What I have also noticed is that the presenters at the studio says nearly the same initial words as these 'on-site' correspondents, troubling us with unnecessary repetitions.
