That's not to diminish BBC News which, particularly its primary news operations, serve an important civic role, but I'd absolutely agree that the News-first view of the BBC - which is particularly prevalent among politicians and other media - is not especially helpful and can even be detrimental to the BBC a whole. It's also something that causes a bit of resentment among those who work in other parts of the BBC, who can often view News as the executive's darling.
