My expectations of the dumbed down BBC are now so low that nothing they get wrong surprises me any more.

The BBC is so obsessed these days with not offending anyone that I'm almost surprised it can make any programmes at all.
Maybe getting their facts right meant potentially offending someone out there so they opted to screw it up on purpose to keep the peace?
