Impartial BBC?

[jonny_greenings_sock]

Name one BBC programme or bit of radio or section of the website that you’ve enjoyed that’s clearly been made by right-wing creators.

Because all the creative talent is left wing af, because that’s what creativity is.

I’ll be waiting.

Do you think a subscription BBC service would have provided us with Bob Fischer and his Saturday night shows?

Never heard of him, wouldn't know what goes on during his Saturday night shows.

But address the issues not just throw the whole thing away

You can't address the issue with their political reporting. Not really.

If you stop the gov appointing the BBC DG, then who does? Who appoints that person? However it works, the person appointed will be a wealthy white bloke who went to private school and oxbridge. They don't need a direct connection to the tory party, they'll be self correcting.

Whereas you can easily remove the false "neutral" label. It'd be much less damaging to have such a right leaning news agenda shared so widely if it was made more obvious what it is.

Anyway, as I said, it's not something I'm clamouring for. I just wouldn't be bothered if it happened.

I've been given examples of issues with one aspect of the BBC.

The BBC is so much more than political reporting and to dismiss the whole organisation as corrupt because of that is wrong, that's the point I'm making. I've said in a previous post that I accept the BBC is not perfect and that it has it's faults. I'd rather those issues were addressed and solved rather than just scrapping it and handing it over to Murdoch/Bezos to reap the benefits of all the good things they do.

The acts of a variety of sexual predators, which were by and large known about and covered up are not related to political reporting.

Likewise the internal handling of complaints and large issues like Saville and others (to a lesser extent Bashir) are a thread of poor management, cover up and possible corruption that runs throughout the corporation rather than being linked to political elements. They show a systemic problem.

The approach to enforcement that disproportionately affects the poorest in society too, is not political and without being too pointed, I think you're being flippant in suggesting these issues are just one element of the organisation mate.

I don't think any of the above are a fair price to pay for Mrs Brown's Boys, David Attenborough programnes and Bob Fischer on Radio Tees.

I just want to add that it's perfectly possible to not want to scrap the BBC and still want the organisation to change radically

Privatising the armed forces is probably the worst thing you can do.

Under the bridge or bedtime, one or the other.

I see there is no point even conversing with you.

Ok, ill give you the benefit if the doubt.
Give me three of any of the issues your concerned with that would not have occurred in a profit driven environment .

Sorry your first two comments have really shone you in a poor light, maybe one day I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Posters on here have engaged in debate on this thread in a friendly manner even though we have opposing views. It's a shame you couldn't do the same.

Don't get me wrong it puts put great content and you do get a lot for the fee but my argument is all about the controversial things that have happened, they shouldn't be funded by tax payers after what's happened through the years.

By that dumb logic there's very few 'institutions' who should receive funding. Name a nationally funded institution with a squeaky clean record. And in fact, name a FTSE 250 business that doesn't have a dubious incident in its past.

Thats very convenient for you.

Maybe approach posters in a friendlier manner and they may answer your questions.

Side valve Kuenssberg jumped the gun and tweeted a Labour activist had punched a Tory MP, Michael Foot was torn a new one for wearing a raincoat not a donkey jacket to the cenotaph. Body Bag Boris turns up three parts pizzed showing his underpants and his park a bike asre hanging out, the BBC they play last year's footage off him ffs lie cheating xxxxx.
Andrew Neil stitches Corbyn up and pretends Body Bag Boris won't turn up.... You know the Andrew Neil who is running Jack boot TV
don't be started on Norman Smith and that slimey xxx xxx Dimbleby.or even that thing that presents Question time.
They show the footage of Oregrave out of sync and with a pack of lies.
this isn't Auntiebeeb with all it's luvies, it prosecutes poor people for not being able to afford their tax.

....and at all times they claim impartiality.

If I could only pay for one service it would be the BBC, no doubt. The breadth of service is beyond compare. Tory agents have been sent in and, like wood worm, they will destroy it from the inside. Then the yanks will move in.
