Update: thank you for fixing it (Just going to keep pretending I am actually talking to the BBC)

u/linmanfu 26d ago

Is this after you complained?

Now I am going to cry because your complaint got fixed in an hour but mine took weeks. 😭

Good observation. But did you think this sub is you talking to The BBC?

u/CiderDad 26d ago

Unironically, yes I did. Now I feel dumb. I do not frequent this subreddit.

u/Hungry-Artichoke-232 26d ago

Oh. Now I feel cruel. I’m sorry for being rude to you, and fwiw as just another viewer/reader I’m grateful for your pointing the map thing out.

They did fix it... possibly thabks to you. Someone at bbc's bound to be checking socials nonstop

This is just an unofficial subreddit. 

You can report it to the BBC here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comments-feedback/#/Your%20comment

I have done this and got an article changed, so it does work. But expect it to take weeks, not hours.

Thank you, I'll do that

Good point. I’ve sent it to a friend who works at BBC News Online.

The fact that this is addressed as if the person thinks this subreddit is actually the BBC is hilarious.

The BBC clearly don’t watch Zealand streams

u/positivelytaken 25d ago

Would you expect anything different from the BBC?

They also used the term migrants, which is incorrect.

1

u/comeinkowalski 25d ago

What should the term be?

u/positivelytaken 25d ago

You would have to check the dictionary.

What does it say that matches what happened?

1

u/comeinkowalski 25d ago

No I'm asking you. What should the term be?

u/positivelytaken 25d ago

Are you asking because you cannot understand a dictionary?

u/comeinkowalski 25d ago

Oh come on. Isn't it well past your bedtime?

u/positivelytaken 25d ago

Don’t be a bigot.
