The BBC came in for fresh controversy today, after announcing that the jobs of 90 workers at BBC News would go next year.
The corporation however came out fighting last night, looking to justify this economy drive. "We have to stem this corporate wastefulness at what is a very difficult time economically. Tough decisions need to be made. We look around us, seeking to establish which positions are expendable because of their inefficiency and which are just too important to let go" opined Mr Friedrich Freeloader, head of paperclips.
He went on to state that "adequate resources will be allocated to the News Channel to ensure that it continues to enjoy its reputation for high quality, impartial news coverage throughout the globe. I can categorically state that standards will never be allowed to slide."
The announcement coincides with a press release introducing the News Channel's new evening anchor, Timmy Mallett (above), who takes up his position in October.
