BBC told: only positive stories on Olympics allowed

[Potatoes]

Afraid I can't give the source on this,

The beeb have been ordered by our very own Government to only report on good stories from the games and to ignore any negative press.

I guess I'm going to have to get me daily 'news' fix elswhere... slowly running out of news sources I perceive as in any way objective (not that the beeb was ever objective), any recommendations??

I'd like it to be BS and I really hope it is.

A friend of the family is a beeb news presenter who is currently a little peeved having been told they will only report on the good news stories. I'd imagine that, if true there will be many other employees at the beeb feeling the same way...

In all seriousness, I thought I'd raise this as it pee'd me off when I heard about it over the weekend.
