I have always thought that no one actually read my essays but is it too much to believe that I sent the following complaint to the BBC yesterday and todays resignation of the BBC’s director-general and its head of news are connected?
BBC bias
I was born in the fifties and grew up with Auntie providing programs such as Two Way Family Favourites, Hancock’s Half Hour and wonderful classical music concerts. On a more serious note I learned that oppressed people, whether under occupation by Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Malan, listened to the BBC to get the truth, often under threat of death.
I understand that these times cannot be replicated and partly as a result of mass media we are bombarded by many versions of ‘the truth’ which makes the BBC’s position very difficult. However, this does not explain the many examples of bias that seem to have come to a head recently. To claim that the editing of Trumps speech was an accident suggests that the Editor had no knowledge of the US legacy News attempt to edit out the “peaceful and patriotic” part of the same speech. There can only be two reasons for this, those responsible are either incompetent or, partisan. This bias seems to go in only one direction, whether it be migration, climate change or gender issues there seems to be a systematic progressive approach to editing or suppressing material that challenges progressive ideology. Who knew that the BBC had a 2SLGBTQQIPAA desk?
Of course, when we mention gender we must reference the latest BBC idiocy in it’s condemnation of it’s own newsreader who added the word ‘woman’ to explain the nonsense phrase ‘pregnant people’.
This has been happening for many years and I am afraid that the ideological capture by a few has infected the whole organisation. The public is watching how it responds to the latest revelations and I think that the BBC’s future, in it’s current form, is at stake.
