Complaint to BBC regarding Pete the Badge

[Prestwich_Blue]

At least they're finally open about it! By the way, both the complaints I had running (Pete & the advertising of Tag Heuer) have been finally rejected by the BBC so I can take them to OFCOM.

The TAG Heuer one was a close-run thing though as they actually admitted having some sympathy with it. I reckon I'll win that one.

Well, look what we have here.

My my, what a surprise.
Still, it's public knowledge now, so they will have to put measures in place to counter his natural bias. (See BBC code of conduct for details. Similar to putting the head of Conservative Party Social Media in charge of BBC Politics Social Media. A clear conflict of interest. Write to the BBC and ask what the BBC will be doing to prevent a conflict of ontetest.)

They will probably say he supports Altrincham!!

To be fair from what we see in the press he's a bit better than whoever we employ and I suppose they have to employ someone.

It'll be interesting to see if/how the narrative changes.

Will he even notice when his role changes over?

This is what came to mind as soon as I saw this, Its not even subtle anymore

The question that occurred to me when I read about the rag being appointed the BBC Sport Social Media Editor is, what happened to the previous incumbent? You know, the one who must have been responsible for the post on a BBC Facebook page about Pete The Badge. He couldn't have been told to sling his hook because of that could he?

Probably had a promotion for pissing us all off.

They might not have been but City fans could have pissed the BBC off so much that they thought let's show them what bias can be!

That crossed my mind too.
Then again, knowing the BBC, they probably appointed an overarching Social Media type to deliver the same message across all social media channels.

He probably has a job at the swamp they might be doing a job share
