@mrjamesob The BBC is NOT impartial. They report on the "small boats" problem, rather than the UK Home Office processing problem. They report on strikes causing problems in NHS/ schools, but not underfunding doing the same. This is not politically neutral news reporting.
Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter.
Compare and contrast.
Dear @BBC. In the interests of fairness could you please now ask @Lord_Sugar to step aside from @bbcapprentice . Otherwise people may wonder if you are truly impartial @GaryLineker
If I was worried about people comparing me to 1930s Germany, my next move probably wouldn't be to shut down all criticism on the national broadcasting service
@JMPSimor Absolutely spot on. Bearing in mind that a number of members in the current and previous cabinet are also descended from immigrants one might expect these same people to show a greater degree of humanity.
As a strong supporter of public service broadcasting, I want to be able to defend the BBC. But the decision to take @GaryLineker off air is indefensible. It is undermining free speech in the face of political pressure - & it does always seem to be rightwing pressure it caves to
Braverman’s blatant lies about the legal position on the asylum bill, including that her “army of lawyers” say it “might be legal”, are so serious and so extreme that she should be disbarred.
She is welcome to sue me for libel and I will happily see her in court.
The BBC has decided not to broadcast an episode of David Attenborough’s flagship new series on British wildlife because of fears its themes of the destruction of nature would risk a backlash from Tory politicians and the rightwing press https://t.co/qY2ZwZS90q
He did NOT - for the nth time - compare the policy to 30s Germany. He said the language used in the debate was redolent of etc … lazy journalism is a curse in this country.
