What do we want?? A broadcaster worth fighhhtiinngg foorrrr š¶

Honestly isn’t worth fighting for if you’re just a regular working class person. The BBC is stuffed to the brim with posh property-owning, middle class London snobs who do not understand or really care about the issues that normal hardworking taxpayers face.
The bbc is held to such insanely higher standards than every other media organisation. Understandably. Sometimes, rightly so.
But look to who its detractors are and what they have to gain from silencing a part of the establishment asks questions of the establishment.

Itās worth remembering that this ācrisisā is because of a poor edit of a man who routinely posts misrepresenting edits of his political opponents, and he wants the BBC to be torn down so that we all watch GB News instead ⦠a wholly politically partisan organisation.
If you genuinely think the BBC isnāt worth fighting for youāre a fool.

I was going to say, āwasā, but Iām not sure. Felt like it was worth fighting for until you know that significant parts of it were a child abuse ring.
Letās seeā¦.
āThe *idea* of the BBC was worth fighting for⦠maybeā
Thatās my headline.

I used to love watching their science & history documentaries, but I can’t bear new perspectives on history from a contemporary social justice lens.
Does anyone know of any good sites to stream older BBC content?

Worth noting that out of all upheld complaints about misleading stories it’s the Telegraph, Mail and Sun that top the lists.

I love the BBC, and they make some of the best programming in the world. However, the BBC News department needs their wings clipping, it’s been getting worse and worse for years

I put this on another post that got deleted:
The Beeb has fucked up massively. Not an impartial outlet by any means, but still 1000x more decent than the Murdoch Empire.Ā
They really have played into Trumps hands.
As much as I loathe to say it, I do hope they can salvage themselves from this and end up not being liable / can afford a settlement if they are.
Otherwise, UK journalism really will go in the gutter, and full blown fake news fascism will take its place from the sewer; that drain is already full and ready to overflow.

GB news and NF can say whatever they want and gets passes, while BBC made one error (and is not even that bad) and hell break loose.

The problem I have with a lot of news agencies today (not just the BBC, but others) is that theyāre more interested in doing opinion pieces as opposed to straight up reporting the factual news.
I donāt really have a lot of sympathy for them.

Naw, in its current form, it really isn’t. Burn it to the ground.Ā

Whilst I have my issues with the BBC we shouldn’t be bending the knee to a guy who is basically Jimmy Saville with fake tan and dementia.

I think an independent public broadcaster is more than worth fighting for, itās essential.
But the rot has set into the BBC over the past 10 years, as in universities, as in the corporate world, as in government, and now the pendulum is swinging back to centrist sanity these organisations are going to have to clean house in order to regain the trust of the silent majority.

At the very least Panorama needs to clean house.
How many fake or misleading documentaries is that now?
4?

The hell it is.
It’s journalistic standards were down the toilet long before this incident.
They have played an active role in the rise of far right politics in this country.

It used to be 20 years ago it was world leading but unfortunately it’s like Kodak it’s lost its way and is an outdated concept and consigned for the waste bin.
Over the top pc has choked the life from it and it should now be consigned to history as is MTV.
I haven’t seen anything from it decent for a while since certain individuals got hold of it now it’s wishy washy, excreting the same trivial balderdash.
Turn off the lights on you way out please.

Nah sorry, it’s not. Well, I tell a lie, maybe it is, but if that’s the case, then allow it to exist on its own merits and stop forcing me to pay for it.

Of course it is, itās the standard that most broadcasters around the world hold themselves to, Iām a freelancer in OB and even though most of them wouldnāt admit it all of the broadcasters I work with aspire to āhow would the BBC do itā

The irony of the final thing to do them in being right wing nut jobs after years of their biased content being mostly around corbyn, trans people and Boris, is funny if anything.
It`s only going to get worse but you have to laugh as we slide down the helter skelter of fascism.

Fight for Nonces, lying scum & crooks? Get real, this organisation should be finished with! Why would anyone in their right mind want to keep it going. Get rid of bad rubbish once and for all.

The news has been shit for a while. Overly long articles that struggle to get to the point if they ever do.
