I think this too - the BBC is biased - they were probably trying to scare the pants of people watching.

I'm not sure if 'biased' is the right word, but certainly the Beeb could have focused a bit more on the positives.
It's a bit like the 'Bailiffs' programme, where they continually put the narative of 'The lesson is simple - If you owe it - pay up'. Nothing was ever mentioned about whether the 'debt' was in fact genuine, or the horrendously inflated, and often illegal, charges that some bailiffs 'add' to very small debts, making them into huge amounts that the debtor is simply unable to pay.
There was, certainly, an element of 'scare tactics' in that case, and I certainly see where you are coming from, jg.
