Today used to set the news agenda; these days it slavishly follows the Daily Mail and Express - it's gone from broadsheet to pretentious "serious" tabloid.
I know the programme was heavily reformatted a few years ago - they cut most of the foreign news out of it, concentrated a lot more on "ishoos" and "how they affect you"... and went for a lot more confrontational interviewing -- taking all of the real journalism out of it - I mostly stopped listening when it became obvious that Humphrys' ego was the most important thing on it.
