Yesterday the second story reported on Newsround was about the FIFA attempt to cut racism at football grounds. Newsround has never reported on similar news about what is being done to stem homophobia and homophobic chanting in football grounds (see blog on 24 February 2006 and 5 & 7 March 2006).

On 22 February 2006, I asked a BBC Senior Manager (Alan Yentob) to do something about the discrimination on Newsround and the CBBC message boards. He has not replied and I'm not sure if he's even interested.

When people complain, BBC Information nearly always just make excuses for doing nothing and end their reply with a bit of meaningless nonsense such as: "However, please be assured that the strength of your concerns has been registered and made available to BBC Senior Management."
