Bbc Going Overboard On Nelson Mandela

[dave50]

Anyone agree that the BBC's saturation coverage of Nelson Mandela's life and death a bit much? How many more gushing people do they need to interview?

Put news on late last night and Bono was giving his deliberation about Mandela and all that clapping at the football matches, don't remember such coverage for JFK or Pope John Paul.

Ridiculous amount of coverage.
Interruption of ongoing and local (life-threatening events) should not have happened.
Unfortunately, respect for the man has turned to "Switch-it-off" for me.
The BBC in particular, has gone overboard - now I just want the whole performance finished so we can have some news more relevant to where we are now!

Totally agree. Lovely man, should have major coverage but we are really fed up with hearing about this now and all other news being ignored.

As I mentioned on another thread; it's analogous to what happened when a certain princess died.

I am fed up with The AB's saturation coverage of the BBC's saturation coverage ...
