Sad to hear the news of the death of the BBC Cameraman and critical injury of their correspondent.
That said, why are the BBC like this about BBC issues. Barely a week goes by without a MASSIVE obit for someone marginally involved in the BBC. And when a cameraman and correspondent are shot at, the issue for the BBC is not the breakdown of security and press independence in Saudi but the fact that A BEEB PERSON is in Snuff City. Then when there is news that a new Director General is being appointed, that skinny speccy twit with the ears turns up and TAKES OVER the ten O'clock news. Then there's the radio adverts for, er, what's coming on TV next week. Then there's the headlines on the news saying "The BBC has today announced that the BBC is investigating the BBC's coverage of the BBC correspondent's coverage of the allegations first aired on the BBC that the BBC may be in love with the BBC and tomorrow on Panarama on the BBC you can see an exclusive interview with the former chairman of the BBC which bla bla bollux."

I thought this would be a topic about masturbation.
Having said that, I agree with your first sentence; I think the rest is only to be expected. After all, when the BBC journalists can't find someone actually involved in a story to interview, they just interview each other.

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

and why the hell shouldn't the beeb devote airtime to the shooting of two of its employees? if the grown-up news is a bit too much to take try sky news.

Because it leaves an acrid tang of tristam self-love in the mouth. Which is so very sixth form.
