Why is the live bbc news through the night broadcast from the USA by English news readers. To be honest, most of the news stories are more relevant to what's going on in the US and the rest of the world than the UK. So I wanna bring up the Russell brand sexual assault allegations by 4 women who's identities have been kept secret but not Russell brand for some reason especially when they are only accusations at the moment and nothing more. The reporter kept saying that the audience at his show all supported him and they all were laughing and enjoying his show and gave him a standing ovation and round of applause at the end of his show. Surely they were fans of his who'd paid to see him on stage doing his stand up set so why on earth would his audience react in any other way unless his show was rubbish. Who'd pay for a ticket to go and see a comedian they didn't like. I wouldn't pay to go and see an act or comedian that I didn't like so apart from the accusations made against him the bbc news readers seem to think that it's more news that his audience enjoyed his show and they were all laughing which is the norm for a comedy stand up show by someone who's got a huge following. Cmon bbc news this is poor and talk about painting a negative picture of someone in a one sided way making a pariah out of someone the minute anything hits the news before time to hear both sides and start from a level playing field. Not impressed
