The BBC should lose the license fee and be forced to operate like any other streaming service after the complete destruction of trust this week

Except - just the other day, the OP had a thread about how amazing Grokipedia is, and how it could become the single-source of truth for the globe.

This is occurring in an environment where Musk is attempting to gain control of media by discrediting a good portion of it. He’s been doing this for a number of years.

Sadly I have to agree, OP. Awful bias, relentless pushing of agendas including trans, Gaza, drag queens, misogyny, and giving jobs to more than one paedophile, then quietly keeping them there even after being informed.
There are some very sick people in that organisation. The whole bloody lot should go, let's start again.
I now resent paying them a penny. This is not what I should be paying for.

Indeed.

They could obviously get their heads back out of their arses and go for biological reality then we could all embrace them again. But they obviously can’t.

Tbh if they are denying biology then chuck them in the bin.

Using the phrase 'pregnant people' isn't impartial as it's a phrase used by those who embrace gender ideology. It's also really clunky as a phrase. Pregnant women is factual.

I'd be really sorry to see the BBC go. I don't use it that much for news but there's lots I like about it, some of which wouldn't be done commercially.

It provides a lot of funding for the arts, particularly classical music, particularly music that goes beyond 'popular classics' that play on Classic FM and new work.

It also funds a lot of things like nature documentaries that wouldn't be done by commercial broadcasters (I guess climate change deniers don't like them for that though).

They also invest a lot in domestic television programme making, supporting good quality jobs.

I'm opposed to chucking all that in the bin really.

Tbh - there will be no way to get past the horrendous bias that exists in all areas of society as they are all captured. Pregnant people it is then.

rightly so.

Calling women who are actually left leaning all their lives ‘right wing activists’ because they speak up. Is a right wing ploy.

By grimacing during a live broadcast, she expressed a personal view, which directly goes against impartiality.

How do you feel about bbc reporting on the current employment tribunals where nurses have been harassed in NHS changing rooms by trans identifying males and BBC are barely reporting on it.

You are an idiot. Or else a bot.

I think the BBC has been under systematic attack from right wing politicians and right wing press (owned by the very wealthy) who don't want an independent broadcaster which holds them to account. There has been successive cuts to the BBC, with the expectation that output remains the same or increases.

I also don't think it is remotely woke....

It’s definitely not lack of money. It’s lack of something. I think total failure from the top. They put up with Saville, friend of KC. There is something going on that needs to be investigated. There is this total trans agenda. Mysogynistic thing going on. Needs a journalist to investigate. Oh wait - it’s the BBC top echelons of British society. Who on earth could investigate that. I sure don’t know.

Is this the default answer to all failure? Just give the more money.

you think the BBC is a woke cesspit because it doesn’t have enough money?

Why do you ask?

Because a thread has been started about it, and we're now discussing it. 🤷‍♀️

YANBU OP, their absolute arrogance sickens me. One let down after another and not something I'm willing to pay for.

BBC? I'm out.

This is actually the right side of history. And an absolute horrendous crime has taken place. Those young transgender people have been betrayed. The old male transgenders. Well. Whatever.

Because they don't want to lose their cushy, well-paid jobs?

How or why is this a conversation on mumsnet?

I know it isn’t all of them but why don’t the ones that agree that it is madness speak up?

Do you want to throw stones at her like the fing bbc does?

I agree apart from martine croxalle she was pilloried by bbc for grimacing at pregnant people. I think as she does it should be pregnant women - don’t you?
