To not want to hear any pretence again that the BBC are 'impartial'?

[User135644]

I can understand why they're pro-monarchy and royalist (let's face it the BBC are as pro-establishment as it gets) but the fawning is never ending and they'd never countenance an alternative view. Isn't their charter bound by impartiality?

The BBC are as biased as GB News or any other political channel when they want to be.

To me they're usually left wing and I'm a swing voter.

Leave it be - it's not going to kill you to watch something else for a bit.

To be fair to the BBC they can't win. If they veered off the topic of the Queen and the nation in mourning for a nanosecond they would be pounced on by the right wing rags and accused of "leftie bias".

It happend when the Queen Mum died. They were hauled over the coals for weeks and threatened with the loss of their charter because Peter Sissons wasn't wearing a black tie for a couple of minutes after the death was announced.

On paper the BBC is impartial and politically neutral, but it is the voice of the Establishment, and you can’t get much more Establishment than the monarchy.

Until a couple of years ago I would have defended them to the hilt (posted in their defence on here a fair few times). Not now.

‘National broadcaster in shock coverage of death of non political, record breaking head of state’

What a great pity that there are literally no other TV channels to watch.

Left wingers think the BBC is biased towards the Conservatives and right wingers think the BBC is biased towards Labour, so they’re probably getting it about right. Don’t worry, the Tories are going to destroy the BBC very soon.

I thought their Covid coverage was very problematic. I still can hear "sadly died" and "now comma more than ever".

The right don't like the BBC because it's liberal it is not left wing (they utterly despised Corbyn who was actually left wing). Politically they're Blairite/Cameronite if anything and are extremely pro establishment.

This is happening

You don't have to pay the licence fee though, people should cancel it if they do

I agree that the BBC are fawning. I think they give the government an unnecessarily hard time and purposefully make them look bad. I think there is strong left wing bias.

Disagree that *

@User135644 (sceptical about this name)

If you think the BBC is as biased as GB News you must be drunk when watching. GB News employs loads of Tory MPs as 'presenters'.

These anti-BBC threads are suddenly very popular, we all know the extreme end of the Tory party wants to shut down the BBC to reduce access to information about climate, foreign issues, corruption etc.

The BBC is not perfect, but it provides a hell of a lot of factual information.

Plus the soft power side.

The BBC isn't an acronym for Biased Broadcasting Corporation for nothing.

I agree, the division and conflict critical race theory and trans ideology has caused is very worrying.
