Are you telling me that the BBC is impartial?
No, it cannot be for two things:
1. It's a state-owned media company.
2. TV licensing is a tax in the UK owners of TV appliances must pay to support it. You also have to pay if you ever visit the BBC on your computer, and so on.
No way such an entity might be impartial.
Another thing to consider: not being impartial is not a problem per se.
However, when combined with state actors, this is unlimited unchecked power that can be a massive problem for society. It can brainwash people by imposing a view of the world fabricated by government rulers.
- benlumen 6y agoI didn't mention the BBC in the comment you're replying to at all, I was talking about Ofcom impartiality regulations which are a separate thing that all TV broadcasters need to mind when reporting the news. I think you might need to learn a little more about this topic. As for the BBC, many of us here think the BBC lean left and are biased against the right-wing government for example.
