I'd Rather Let The Stabbings Continue

Why on earth does the BBC think it has to fly Clive Myrie (I'm sure not Economy Class) all the way to Los Angeles just to introduce the news, when it already has two reporters reporting on the fires and other reporters elsewhere in the US who could be brought in - including a well-remunerated 'USA Editor' ?
Same thing happened for the US elections last year: up popped Clive Myrie in Washington DC. So annoying when the BBC are pleading poverty, and I've just received their demand for its £169.50 licence fee. What a waste of money.
I was screaming exactly the same at my TV earlier this evening! And the coverage of the LA situation was reduced to just a few minutes too where it had been virtually the whole programme for the past week.
I can't decide whether I think he was sent there or whether he will have insisted on being out there.
Either way it's nonsense; the reporters already there have done a great job and don't need him there.
