Makes you mad. Grrrr, Look at this exchange about what the BBC did re a famous UFO incident in England that the earmarks of being the real deal. This is from someone in England who has an interest in crop circles and in UFOs:

With reference to that controversial BBC ‘hitpiece’ on the Today

program which aroused so much criticism and discussion earlier
this month.

Like many, I wrote complaining how it was utterly biased and
made no effort to contact people actually involved in the
Rendlesham incident.

I have just received the following reply saying in effect,

“Yes it was meant to… be biased. ”

Here’s the actual  BBC response:

“Thank you for your e-mail regarding the ‘Today’ programme
broadcast on 11 August.

“We forwarded complaints on this issue to Dominic Groves, one
of the output Editors for the ‘Today’ programme. He explained
in response that this was meant to be an impressionistic piece
describing how an avowed sceptic on these issues reacted when
placed at the scene of a well-known incident such as the one in
Rendlesham Forest.”

He further added, “This was not intended to be, not did it claim

to be, an in-depth analysis of the rights and wrongs of that
particular case.

“Please be assured we’ve registered your complaint on our
audience log. This is a daily report of audience feedback that’s
circulated to many BBC staff, including members of the BBC
Executive Board, channel controllers and other senior managers.

“Thank you once again for taking the trouble to share your views
with us.

“Kind Regards

“BBC Audience Services”

So, there we have it. The show was meant to “describe how a sceptic
reacted” when placed in the Forest along with two other sceptics….

Surprise, surprise……he reacted……sceptically!

How fortunate we are to have the BBC to enlighten us in this way.

I would be interested in feedback from other people who complained
as to whether my reply from the BBC was a ’round robin’ or whether
we all got individual responses.
