On the same day that the bbc was told to become more impartial, a much more fundamental problem with its journalism arose: it is predictable and of a poor quality.
The issue on which it was reporting was Architecture Week 2007, and in a wonderfully glib, predictable and, frankly, pathetic fashion, the bbc has welcomed the Week with Eyesore or gem: five controversial buildings and whether they should stay or go. Admittedly, there's history of this sort of thing, but when thelondonpaper — a "newspaper" so poor it doesn't even charge its readers to read it and literally has to force itself into your hand — covers the Week better than the Beeb (link, unfortunately, not available) then you know you're in trouble...
