When will the BBC be held accountable for their lack of patriotism

Why does this far-left propoganda group continually try to do Britain down?

Why can't they have more presenters who think like the majority of Brits - people who believe that Britain is truly great - indeed, the best country in the world.

People who believe in our institutions, who love the monarchy, who revere the military, who speak in hushed awe about the majesty of our traditions. Presenters who are over-awed by the silent beauty of our countryside, and the glory of our heritage and history. Why do they always use their sneering, supercilious, Guardianista attitude - this constant insinuation that Britain should always be taking the blame and apologising. Coincidentally, it seems to stem from the same sort of sneering middle-classery that is prevalent on MN...

The most recent, shameful episode is the Beeb trying their best to spoil the England 2018 bid. Now I have no time at all for football - I can't stand it - but I fully recognise how important it is for our economy, and also for our national psyche.

The sooner the BBC withers and dies the better. Sadly, it has gotten away with a miniscule 16% cut in the TV tax over 6 years. They will continue their ramblings for the foreseeable future.

The BBC is one of the few national institutions that I am proud of (apart from the John Lewis Partnership!)
Perhaps the OP hasn't noticed BBC coverage of such events as Remembrance Sunday/Royal occasions - hardly sneering, supercilious etc.
Britain isn't the best country in the world - there are other good States but I'm glad to live in a country where I'm able to disagree vehemently with the OP!

Patriotism? How quaint.

I didn't appreciate the BBC until I spent some time living in America, as with every huge organisation it has it's flaws, but overall it's a wonderful asset.

Personally, I can't stand that Nick Robinson on the BBC. He's so left-wing; he might as well be Robert Peston.

The Guardian is also theatre to fool its naive readers. None of it is real. That's why the Guardian urged its readers to vote for Clegg. It's a game.

The BBC used to be something to be proud of (though it has always been far to the left).

Now it is little more than the Guardian on TV. I'm not suprised left-wingers adore it so much.

I think we will win the bid and the BBC programme was deliberate and part of winning it. It's all theatre, that's why everybody sat back with their arms folded and allowed Panorama to go ahead.

the Beeb is one of those institutions to be proud of LFN

and a critical perspective hekps a country stay great.

The BBC's one of the few things that makes me proud to be british...
