the BBC is good with most of the stuff which isn’t politics, such as childrens and the arts, but i guess this reputation laundering makes it easier to sneak pro government stories to the general public

I enjoy BBC radio, every episode they have some condescending story about the weird culture and funny people in location X and how backwards they all are and I feel like I'm there in the British museum being lectured to.

That graphic that shows all of the different BBC channels, and you realise that the vast majority of it is trash. If it's a public service broadcaster, it should be funded like all other public services,

it's weird how the media will do anything in their power to support white supremacy and regressive policy and yet the conservatives will inevitably fail to recognize that they're being propped up by them and kill their funding and label them as enemies of the public maybe there could be a lesson to be learned here but i guess the murdochs et all will make it out fine

However Peppa Pig caused american children to develop British pronounciation and learn about universal healthcare so who is to say whether it's bad or good.

World Service is actually good for news coverage, well researched, dry and factual bulletins on goings on in Africa/Mid East/Asia. The difference between the world service output and domestic BBC News is vast.

I would catch their 2019 election coverage when I'd get out late from work cos it would be dawn in the UK very anti-Corbyn almost hilariously so and they had recently the same commentators say how important it was for Keith to be seen mingling with Pro Business Australian Labor, an out of government party

it literally has a separate charter from the regular bbc and was designed from start the irony is that they are much more careful in managing it despite that e: or perhaps because of it Private Speech has issued a correction as of 19:44 on Jan 16, 2022 |

I was genuinely shocked at how they never treated Corbyn and McDonnell as legitimite politicians and always interviewed their supporters as if they were some weird alien tribe and they couldn't quite believe what they were hearing: "What, so you genuinely support... nationalisation??". I stopped paying my licence fee over it and I've never missed it, or their clubby insider news 'coverage'.

The newsnight photoshop drama and the stooges in the question time audience asking if he was going to nationalise sausage rolls were the final straw re: any suggestion that its a credible outfit for me. E: was it also the beeb that played clips of someone at the cenotaph but in the wrong year 'accidentally?'

Yes that was them and it was Boris Johnson in 2019 who looked like poo poo and did some part of the procedure wrong so they played the clip of him doing it from a previous year.

Pistol_Pete posted:The license fee has been an obvious anachronism for years now. If the BBC's so loving good, switch it to a subscription model and see how many people care enough to actually pay for access imo. Lol loving SEE HOW IT SURVIVES IN THE FREE MARKET is such a dumb line. How it'll survive is by just doing worse, dumber & cheaper content. It is absolutely funny that all the libs are crying because their chickens have come home to roost but the alternative is going to be worse. It's free market intrusion to the Beeb in the 80s & 90s that went some way to destroying the ability of the BBC to create actually informative documentaries other than fronted by Attenborough or Cox, or genuinely excellent thoughtful working class dramas like Days of Hope or Up The Junction or the fantastic Fall of Eagles (with Patrick Stewart as Lenin). Even the comedy output is loving lacking in ambition or creativity or even laughs most of the time.

Jesus, this is a mess. Right-wing twitter seems to be blowing up with #BackBoris. I don't know if it's some astro-truf poo poo or not. It also seems that the BBC has pissed off the brexiteers by not being pro-tory enough. The only people supporting the BBC seem to be lib-dem types.
