Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This is what disturbs me the most: these are basic thinking skills. We note take and write things down *because* they help us think, not *instead* of thinking. 010

Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 27/07/2026I rarely listen to Today any more, but switched it on this AM. The BBC presenter was interviewing *checks notes* Laura Kuenssberg, another BBC presenter. For SEVERAL minutes, not a 20 second plug for her TV show. It’s ridiculous and it’s not news reporting.static.klipy.comCirclejerkALT: Circlejerk 100

Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 24/07/2026If the lobby wants to convince sceptics like me that it’s not antiquated and doesn’t have a ridiculously high opinion of “The Lobby” as vital in the current form to the body politic, they’ll have to do so much better than this. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...bbc.co.ukThe Media Show - Andrew Neil, the PM and the press, AI actor Tilly Norwood - BBC SoundsAndy Burnham’s social media strategy, Andrew Neil on becoming a Youtuber, AI in Hollywood. 100

If someone wants to say something on the news channels “I can’t get a job because of the thousands of people on small boats every day”, they have to be properly challenged and probed on the “fact” or they don’t get airtime. 295
Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Up to a point, yes, I agree. But I dint think she’s wholly innocent. I feel most for people reading in real poverty or thinking they will be if they turn their oven on, so avoid it. 000

Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Yes, I do think we’ve probably created a comms/messaging landscape that is so geared to be reactive and on alert, it’s damaging strategic and big picture thinking. 110
Jo PRComms @joprcomms.bsky.social · 03/07/2026Completely agree. Not sure why advisers and comms people are still insisting they should be on any platform except as broadcast/information sharing. And I think the same for departments, ALBs, regulators etc We’ve tried it, it didn’t work. Move on, comms wise. 110
