The BBC don't seem to care about being impartial when it comes to the royalty. They publish loads of articles about the upcoming coronation and I have yet to see any republican points of view.
- pydry 4y agoThey don't care about impartiality in anything, really. Certainly not since Greg Dyke left. The management has increasingly been stuffed with people who are openly Tory. The recent attack on Gary Lineker for not being "impartial" (not being sufficiently uncritical of Government policy) was particularly galling.
- hgomersall 4y agoThere's no such thing as impartiality. Everything has an editorial line which colours what opinions are allowed.
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoThere's degrees of bias though. The BBC has a charter that is supposed to prioritise impartiality, and yet they show strong bias in many topics.
- hgomersall 4y agoThat's the point I'm making. It's like having their charter saying that pi is 3: reality is no less malleable.
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoWell, pi is approximately 3 to a certain degree of precision. To make a bad analogy, the BBC is currently saying that pi is 4 and increasing.
