The BBC is a big organisation. Do you mean test match special? Children's programming? Or, more appropriately, the long-running Radio Four show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue?
I'm not and never have been employed by the BBC but I do know that it's a big place. If you mean BBC news, say so. If you mean BBC East Midlands, say so. If you just want to jump on a 'Let's criticise the BBC' bandwagon, say that too.
Criticising 'the BBC' is to aim at so diffuse a target it's like shooting fog.
