"I had a fairly high opinion of BBC's reporting so far."

You have obviously not read much of the BBC's technology reporting then because it is terrible. I have no idea who the reporters are but they appear to be a lazy bunch not at all keen on research and they generally just recycle press releases.

I've used the feedback option a number of times and they have never bothered to respond or correct factual errors I have informed them of(always very politley and calmly). As a British tax (and TV license) payer I am bitterly dissapointed in the falling journalistic standards of the BBC and am considering contacting my local Minister of Parliament to request that he looks into the matter.

All reporting is always 100% accurate. -- Except when someone is writing about a field you actually know something about.
