    This one is going to be interesting because going by the headline I’m incensed at the BBC pandering to BLM and Dinner Party Liberals, however further down the article Jan Younghusband head of BBC music says they might not be able to get the whole orchestra needed to perform Rule Britannia- which if that’s true is cool with me! I wonder if a journalist has taken several threads and woven them together to create a salacious headline:cool::relieved:

    "The BBC's reputation for impartiality". Now there's a figment of someone's imagination or a case of if you say something often enough, people will eventually believe it. :rolleyes::mad:

    There's the beginning of lovely and the first open admission that coverage has been openly biased....................

    Surely this article alone highlights the lengths to which senior managers within the BBC will go to destabilize?

    Or get the story!

    Either way round it’s a pretty sad state of affairs

    Hmm, state broadcaster - but which state?

    Probably a good idea to have left leaning broadcasting when you’ve got a right leaning government?

    Surely, neutral and balanced with no political agenda of their own, reporting facts without opinionated bias. Fantasy world maybe, but that is what they are supposed to provide :rolleyes:

    BBC is broadly impartial. I find it faintly surprising that Kunessberg gets labelled as left wing when she dares criticise or question anything right wing. In the left wing press she's seen as a rabid right winger. Nick Robinson (R4 and online mainly) is similarly similarly viewed. If anyone thinks that Andrew Neil is left leaning needs their head examined. Despite my personal politics being in variance with Neil I'd say he's a brilliantly impartial political questioner. He, and I think Kunessberg also, employ the 'Paxman Maxim' of 'why is this bastard lying to me' in their questioning. It's easy to cite bias if they unearth uncomfortable truths. And as someone on the political left they've unearthed plenty (deservingly so in the main) on us. Sometimes people you align with disappoint. Don't blame the messenger.
