So self defeating.
its a real shame.They won’t learn though. The BBC is as you would expect, already incredibly diverse.
The real enemy isn’t themselves. For the equivalent of 40 pence a day. About 29 cents the uk gets world class independent media. Radio, TV and internet. It’s literally pennies.
Its not been great on Covid. It’s very much towed the government line. I work with the main guys and voice my disapproval over some stats that are used. Sometimes I get to change it. Mostly not though.
They are not false stats but often, imo they are given without context. And it’s scaremongering.
They Have been working on 50/50 gender for about 2 years now. That’s not new. It’s still the best broadcaster in the world. And the most trusted. But it constantly shoots itself in the foot with these weird doctrines. No one is asking for them. About 4 years ago the bbc news management was taken over by ITN execs. It’s been a spiral ever since. Ironically since those fucktards left ITN they have improved tenfold as we have gone backwards.
the next charter renewal is up in 2027. By then Facebook and google may make the bbc obsolete. You guys might think that’s funny and a good thing but an independent voice is even more important when you consider that Facebook and google get 60 to 70% of all global media revenue Now. They basically control what you see.
who holds them to account?
its about 20 pounds a year more to get the entire BBC compared to a years subscription of Netflix.
people are so dumb it’s hard to fight for them anymore.
