They used to be ok at holding the government in power to account before the Hutton Inquiry. Now they're slavishly obedient.
Worse than their bias, though, was the defunding for investigative reporting. These days the front page is covered with lazy reporting, clickbait and reprinted press releases.
- JoeSmithson 7y agoI don't think that's true at all. The BBC has run lots of major stories embarrassing to the government such as the failed role out of Universal Credit and the Windrush scandal. Right now there's this story on the front page - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-47884273 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-47884273 - which appears to be original investigative reporting into a Tory MP. What are you basing your opinion on?
