- zimpenfish 3y ago> the BBC is for the most part absolutely fine Anything non-political, sure, they're pretty good. Unfortunately, on politics, they're (currently and for the last 10-ish years) far too lenient on, chummy with, and subservient to the Tories to justify the licence fee.
- rainonmoon 3y agoMy brother in Christ if you think being lenient towards conservative governments is a condition limited to public ownership, turn on a TV.
- zimpenfish 3y ago> a condition limited to public ownership It is not, obviously, but it is something that shouldn't be happening at the allegedly impartial news flagship that everyone is forced to pay for.
- permo-w 3y agohonestly? just accept it. by criticising it, all you're doing is playing into the hands of conservatives even further. public broadcasters are always going to be soft on the government of the day, it's just a feature of that particular entity. adjust for it and enjoy the other 95% which is literally the highest quality broadcaster the world has ever seen, and - WW2 aside - probably the best thing this country has ever done
