Shame on the BBC

At the bottom of a story about the Egyptian football disaster there is a request for personal stories

“Are you in Cairo? Have you witnessed the clashes? Please send us your stories using the form below.”. Whatever happened to impartial factual reporting at the BBC. Shame on the BBC

This loaded question is more worthy of the Sun or Fox news. I would have expected the BBC to ask ‘Are you in Egypt? What are you witnessing?’ but that won’t get them the sensationalist stories they publish these days. Shame on the BBC.

It makes me weep. In the meantime in my beloved adopted city of Luxor nothing is happening, the few tourists that are here are having a fantastic time enjoying empty sites whilst Egyptians are literally starving because the huge numbers we normally have at this time of year have deserted the city leaving us without work. There is no alternative way of earning a living in Luxor. Shame on you BBC ripping the bread out of the mouths of these people with your sensational stories.
