why the bbc is going down the pan

[Pickman's model]

Meanwhile tory Nick Robinson interviews/chats to uber tory Suella Braverman on a Radio 4' 'in depth' politics slot.

Unsurpringly it's not at all tough on her.

However, it is a pretty hard listen.

Onwards and upwards with impartiality!

Cheers - Louis MacNeice

When they do in depth it's as shallow as a paddling pool

Mixed reasoning likely though. Bet Covid conspiratorial stuff played a part, plus there is a whole bunch of people from the right thinking the BBC has been taken over by woke lefties, not sure it's entirely something to be pleased about really.

20 years back the right were using the words "pc", "right on" and "communist" to describe BBC workers. That's when the Iraq/ David Kelly debacle was happening. Another government was wrestling with the corporation.

Not a lot changes.

This is all quite beautiful. Tiktok is awash with anti GL fury. It’s awfully funny

I figured there must be some somewhere but hadn’t seen any.
Slightly surprised that it’s Tiktok. Thought that was mostly kids slapping each other.

Rather depressingly, TikTok is becoming the number one source of news coverage for its target audience.

if you have not used it, you might be surprised how it is used these days. Far weaker controls than FB

You are right of course, I still think overall cynicism in establishment institutions is a net positive. Deference is fading. Short term that means more conspiraloonery but im hopeful there'll be a correction over time. A necessary step.

Perhaps they should not have closed down so many Remploy places and put many disabled people out of work

But half of those will have stopped trusting them because they're too woke/lefty/liberal/something else they're clearly not.

It been reported that Richard sharp is currently on his way back from Washington

 

[teqniq]

It that the sound of furious distractions i hear whilst neglecting to directly address the issue at hand?



Gawd knows why it's chosen that image, it seems completely unrelated. There's a vid to watch.

Pretty much on point.

It’s kind of in the ballpark tbf (what’s the max size for a ballpark?).
Next couple of weeks will be interesting.

This smells:

BBC Chairman Donated Tens of Thousands of Pounds to Right-Wing Group Funding Criticism of BBC – Byline Times

Richard Sharp has pumped money into a group that almost funds organisations like the TaxPayers' Alliance, Eurosceptics, and the BBC-bashing News-Watch

It does indeed. Working has many benefits other than cash.

The current media guidelines for the BBC are laughable as talks about impartiality for it staff

From yesterdays Observer

Gary Lineker was singled out from a long list of BBC stars who express political views

From Alan Sugar and Karren Brady to Richard Osman and Nadiya Hussain, there is nothing new about TV presenters writing about politics
