Will Gary Lineker be presenting Motd on Saturday?

The impartial BBC. LOL.

Despite his freelance status, it was announced that the former England striker would be “spoken to” about his duty to be impartial, although the identity of who would be doing the talking was unclear. The BBC chairman Richard Sharp, who is so famously politically neutral he has donated over £400,000 to the Conservative party? Or the Beeb’s politically unpartisan director general, Tim Davie, a card-carrying Conservative who has previously stood in local council elections and is rumoured to have scrapped the excellent satire The Mash Report because he believed it criticised his beloved Tory party too much.

 
So, according to the BBC, impartiality means supporting the government, even donating to government funds depending on how senior you are. But criticising a government policy is not to be impartial.
