I am convinced the BBC website/national news service has a big list of "independent" (read: Vetted) organisations it *always* calls up about stories. Every time there's a story on a given topic (domestic violence, "environment") its always the same spokesdroids from the same organisations rolling up.

Just look at any countryside story. Rarely (if ever) will any farming or "working" countryside organisation be approached for comment, but you can always bet the same "conservation" charities will always be called up.
