It was a mistake it can happen to anyone. Of course whenever the BBC does make mistakes it does always seem to favour the left.

They are far more than a news channel! They represent us all on the world stage 😏BBC removes article linking bare nails trend to ‘white supremacist standards of beauty’

They do. They also present local news and maintain stringent standards that mean when mistakes are made by people (who being human are fallible) they are always identified and corrected. Quite unlike other media.

OK then keep the news channel and get rid of the rest.

You, along with many here and elsewhere, just don’t get it and probably never will.
The " news " channel is the problem

But that's all that's ever discussed. The garbage and repeats they spew out as entertainment is conveniently forgotten.

Not buying into your narrative is hardly not getting it. Stay in thrall to the BBC but don't try to dismiss others' opinions because, "they don't know what's good for them" or some other patronising drivel.

No, it’s not just a matter of opinion. I understand yours only too well but it’s really obvious that you don’t understand mine. Hence you don’t get it.
Treating the BBC as just another broadcaster, to be chosen or rejected at will, is a fundamental misunderstanding of what it is. Unless and until you are able to accept that then you will never get it.
You are, of course, entitled not to get it, but not to just dismiss it as another “narrative”.

Of course it's a matter of opinion. Mine is that no one should be compelled to subsidise an organisation in which they have no interest. Let those who want it pay for it but the days of the BBC having a monopoly on broadcasting are long gone and the scandals and cover ups have only exacerbated the problem.

I agree the other content is not what I would want to watch. They have a couple of hit shows but get nowhere near the audiences shows like That's Life or The Two Ronnies would draw.
Personally I have no interest in Traitors or Strictly, millions do. Traitors is a purchased product from a production company.

Curious how Reithian idealism went out the window on a tide of bargain hunting, cake baking, celebrity dancing and RuPaul drag racing.
