This is breathtakingly bad.

Its pretty thin pickings to try and spin that phrasing into another accusation of BBC bias.

When does a bunch of kids on a blog become a news outlet deserving of scrutiny?

I know a bloke who's one of their editors. Definitely not a kid. Interesting previous journalistic career, too.

I've only just seen this so apologies, but I get bloody angry when someone who spouts often ill-informed and invariably unresearched opinion online can describe themselves as a "freelance journalist and blogger" and be treated on the same level as a writer with decades of training and experience.
