Not sure what the problem is here, shouldn't BBC cover news like this ?
1) Of course they <should|should not> they're after all a very <right|left> wing organisation with a <clear|unclear> political bias2) Of course they should but only if paid for by people who wanted them to go their and were asked first - using the license fee is a clear infringement of my human rights, my right to choose, my right to err... post on fora?
3) Of course they should because this will allow them to continue as the central hub of the global warming conspiracy as they cloak their attempts to fulfill their own prophecy of a man made mass extinction event under the guise of reporting
4) Of course they should but only if they ensure there's a deaf, dumb, black lesbian paraplegic used as the main anchor specifically to anger the PH massive
5) This just another example of the self-aggrandising, left wing, lefty, bloated, mandatory taxation, over managed, over inclusive, under inclusive, too youth oriented, too middle class oriented BBC and I'm oot - at least with Sky I know it's unbiased... oh wait

Yes, but what is the point of sending a team there? To look at a beach, in the sun, next to a holiday villa and cocktail bar.............oh.They could alternatively use the available film and pictures and talk about it in the studio, they do not need a team to go all the way to Reunion Island so they can stand on the beach pointing to a piece of washed up plastic and saying "this could be from the Malaysian jet".

I think the likely point is that the BBC have deployed more people than it took to invade Poland. I assume?FourWheelDrift said:

FFS, of course they should send a team to cover what is a major news story. What they don't need to do is send a team for BBC TV News, a team for Radio News, a team from BBC Online and a team for Newsbeat. But that's not what's happened presumably?They could alternatively use the available film and pictures and talk about it in the studio, they do not need a team to go all the way to Reunion Island so they can stand on the beach pointing to a piece of washed up plastic and saying "this could be from the Malaysian jet".
I'm no fan of the BBC or the ludicrously regressive way it's funded but it's ridiculous to say that they shouldn't cover major world events. I should add that as an ex pat Brit who doesn't pay a single cent towards the cost of it and who relies on it for an un jaundiced view of world events I think it offers me great value.
