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

[SingleSexSpacesInSchools]

Thats it really, the BBC lied to us, all of us.

They edited a Trump speech to make him look like he said something he did not.

They pushed one side of the transgender debate relentlessly, deliberately hiding negative stories on detransitioners, the US WPATH file and thousands of more cases

They have cancelled people for wrong-think at every opportunity, pushed drag queens over women, turned woman hours into mens hour, constantly attacked anyone who does not share their extreme liberal left wing views and kept them off the news cycle

They have utterly and completely lost all trust, they ARE biased they DON'T give balance in the news

Everyone thought it was a conspiracy, now we know it's actually true and we have PROOF

Today the BBC Director and News Director have both quit in absolute disgrace.

It is time the BBC was consigned to the dustbin because we are never getting back to the BBC I loved and trusted, the one that ran programmes to inform and entertain and educate, that BBC is long gone.

Replace it, completely.

I resent having to fund the BBC. It’s time the licence fee was scrapped.

You make it sound like it was a mistake. It wasn't. It was a deliberate attempt to mislead the public.

She also seems to believe it was a one off.

It was not an incorrect edit - it was very deliberate attempt to change the narrative and right before the election.

Trans women are men, and just as likely to be a threat because they are men. What rights don’t they have?

Just because no one high profile is complaining about surrogacy doesn’t make it okay. At the moment it seems to be fashionable to be in favour of surrogacy (especially amongst the media and celebrity set).

ETA: I meant to quote your other post where you highlight these topics

I am finally going to stop paying licence. I only liked the master chef stuff ironically. It is so awful. I’ll organise to de couple from that absolute nasty partner.

Lots of gender critical women are also strongly anti surrogacy

I trust the right — pointythings

You can’t deny that’s what you said. (Ignoring the stuff in between that changes the meaning)

i mean how do they not get it about the trans stuff. It beggars belief how anyone can’t.

Yes, exactly. That's what I meant.

There’s no connection in my mind. Unfortunately gender critical women are labelled as all sorts by the trans activists. Apparently homophobes racists fascists etc. i am none of those.

Can you say what’s ‘coming in’ in terms of rights?

Agree their news can be biased & I certainly would never use them as my only news source.

Disagree about them being ‘extreme liberal left’ .

Also disagree with comments on them being ‘anti semetic’.

Anyone who opposes commodifying babies and women's bodies is anti surrogacy. It's an absolutely sick joke that so many people who support it will insist in the next breath that they don't know what a woman is, and then in the next after that that a man who says he's a woman is a woman.

It's going to go down as the stupidest thing in history. It's painful.

Edited for typo because FUCK YOU AUTOCORRECT FOR NOT CORRECTING

The BBC has always had a condescending attitude to those that fund them. The organisation has always thought they know best on things and it is their duty to inform people around certain ideological beliefs. They've been lecturing us and manipulating information since early days of their existence.

They need to be defunded. I am certainly defunding them. Mainly on the poor girl who couldn’t express her discomfort on ‘pregrant people’ that alone means i will NEVER pay then another penny!!!!

I tried to do it online earlier, but apparently you have to ring to cancel because you don't need a licence. So that's a job for tomorrow.

You can just go online. I will check tomorrow and check back in here with instructions :-)

Omgggg

lol…..

Not if you choose that you don't need it because you don't use the services. I tried earlier. Any other reason allows you to.

Proof your position is unsustainable!

I'm inclined to agree. Though for a long time I was a huge proponent of public broadcasting. I still feel very nostalgic about it.

But the video splicing - I am not sure people really understand how egregious that was, from a journalistic standards POV. It's not just about the underlying bias it reveals. People seem to think it's normal to do that kind of thing on the news, but it absolutely isn't. You are not supposed to edit that kind of material without making it clear there is a time lapse. And especially for something so potentially important, the job of the journalist is to present the material and allow the viewers to make their own decisions about what it means.

This is basic, 1st year journalism student stuff. And back before they had degrees, journalists knew this. The idea that this was somehow a misjudgement is bs, it is much worse than that.

Plus, it looks like electoral interference. What the fuck were they thinking?

But as far as the bigger picture - I can't help notice that it was the fact that the UK has quite a varied and good quality media, with various good papers of differernt kinds and differernt political approaches, that allowed the deadlock on the gender stuff to come to the public attention at all. Had it been up to the BBC, none of it would have come out. And they have traded on their reputation to try and make it look like a fake story.

I also can't help noticing that the public broadcasters in at least three other English speaking countries are equally captured and untrustworthy.

It's shaken my belief in public broadcasting at a fundamental level.

The thing is there are other things paid for by the license fee. For example the BBC funds embedded journalists in local authorities with the duty to report on what local councils are doing. In the present climate local media often has no other funds to do this.

God forbid a girl love listening to Radio 1, funded by my taxes 😭

I did it a while ago when i got annoyed with them. Then i started it up again when i wanted to watch ‘Saturday kitchen’ . I can do without that shit. They are absolute shits and until they change i don’t want to pay them anything again. Last time i cancelled they immediately contacted me to pay. And i did because of Saturday kitchen and master chef at the time. I think, tbh you have to not watch bbc shows again. And they have pissed me off enough that i won’t.
