The bbc, again.

He had the cheek to say (and often repeat) that he had a good look around the BBC and couldn't see anyone that looked like him.

Perhaps he should visit Specsavers as the lunchtime news only very rarely has an Anglo Saxon British newsreader nowadays with the most common white newsreader being a kiwi

I think the English translation of 'Arthanayake' might be 'Wisbech'.

Really? It was just an analogy and nothing whatsoever to do with any perceived bias.
OK, how do you feel about paying Organisation A in order to use the services of Organisation B?

Same answer!

It depends on who they are! There is no one size fits all answer.

Jesus. They could hand all you moaning about them a cheque for a million quid and you still wouldn’t be happy with them such is the BBC Derangement Syndrome on here.

That wasn’t that hard to understand was it?

The people who get the million quid are the paedos or sex abusers that resign with a golden handshake.

It's like listening to a Communist Party member talking about the Morning Star.

The irony of that comment speaks volumes. Although probably not to its author.

BBC Bosses Draw Up Plans to Win Over Reform Voters by Changing News and Drama Output

The Director General Tim Davie and other executives discussed altering BBC “story selection” in order to secure the "trust" of supporters of Nigel Farage’s party

With Ex GB News Exec Robbie Gibbs in charge of the BBC their impartiality or perceived left wing bias (claimed by the far right) is very much a thing of the past and has been for a few years now

So you think that he has total control over all editorial decisions?

The evidence says otherwise.

So now we might get Monkey Tennis with Nigel Farage.

Is he not one of the Bee gees, rather than the beeb?

There is and the answer is no.

There is and the answer is no.

Not in my opinion. And it was me who was asked, not you!

One of the worst things I've witnessed recently on the BBC is that Annabel Croft is starting to age. That is a real shame.

How so when you haven't given a single example?
The BBC isn't simply a news source (and even if it were it's no better than Channel 4, CNN, Sky News, ITV news or any of the other options) it's supposed to provide entertainment as well and with their constant reliance on Dads Army and Morecambe & Wise repeats they're signally failing.

Why do you think the BBC is no better than those other outlets as a news source?

Do they omit anything that the BBC includes? Are they more biased? Less professional? They are all staffed by professional journalists. Why should any one of them be better than the others? And in any case as previously stated the BBC isn't just a news source.

An interesting point I believe is that BBC don't source their own news. They buy their news from Reuters like others. Hence you often wonder why the news channels are so similar.

Maybe not the best name of a company to sell the BBC flats

Interesting. The impression created by certain posters is that the BBC is this shining beacon of integrity compared to their competitors who either make up their content or quote directly from the Hackenbush Book of Lies.

The BBC has the largest global network and reach of any broadcaster on the planet. Their World Service is unrivalled... that alone makes them a better news source than any of the others you mentioned.
