Here's a Twitter discussion you may have missed. In it a veteran BBC reporter reveals his feelings about Ian Katz's new-look 'Newsnight':
"There's a lot of foreign news today." @BBCNewsnight. Was that
an apology?!!

@HughSykes @BBCNewsnight It sounded a bit "The One Show" to me :o/

@156Sharknose @BBCNewsnight There was another weird remark: "You may have read about this in the newspapers."

@HughSykes Because, in my view as a punter, @BBCNewsnight has ceased to be about digging down into matters of the moment. Hence apologies

@156Sharknose @BBCNewsnight It's turned into a Nightly Seminar. Lost its 'bite'. Losing me.

@HughSykes To be honest I only watched it tonight because it just happened to be on. On a news day like this @BBCNewsnight shld be essential
