Disappearing


Arthur T made a very striking observation on the Open Thread:
As predicted, the Amess story has all but disappeared from the BBC News website - there is a thread of archived stories under the banner of:
'Killing of Sir David Amess MP'
If we compare Amess's archive with Jo Cox's, the overwhelming coverage of the earlier story, which has its own BBC pages:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/cn1r4rw9qz4t/jo-cox-murder is:
'Jo Cox Murder' 

It gets even worse though if you click on the link that takes you to the new archive of BBC pages for Sir David Amess and see its banner:


Isn't that extraordinary? 

As Arthur also says, the story has all but disappeared from the BBC News website homepage. It's now below even the 'Local news' search bar:



The BBC is evidently 'moving on'. It's got its climate change agenda to push after all.
