The BBC are now the personal PR machine of the fascists at Reform. They're following the decade old strategy of flooding the newsrooms with shit, and the BBC is dutifully reporting every stinking press-release they churn out as if it's the word of god. We're drowning in a deluge of client journalism

Why is Wes Streeting able to talk about what was said at Glastonbury

But not able to comment on reports of IDF soldiers being ordered to kill Palestinians queuing up for food?

Rod Stewart is not sexy. I don't know why he bothered to ask the question.
Again, Rod Stewart has vocalised his support for Enoch Powell, anti-immigrant sentiment, and recently, Nigel Farage. The BBC have no issue televising his set.

Sir Geoff Palmer has died. His contribution to this country was profound, and delivered not only with wit and wisdom but with gentleness and courage. He was the sort of man who, having been faced with many obstacles in his own life, sought to break them down for others. He was a great Briton.
