Troll.

If you bothered to post facts, you might have realized that the BBC is the largest news-gathering organization in the world. It’d be pretty surprising if they needed to partner with China for their news, considering all the dangerous places their reporters go…

But the government has tried to do that. The British government at the moment are notorious for their inability to hold up their hands to mistakes. At least what the BBC has done is covered by law. They’ve won the right to keep that report private, because by law they are allowed to do so. Whether or not the law is right is a different question altogether…

I’m not trying to suggest that the BBC is always right, by any means- but I don’t think your example is entirely fair. Nothing is entirely impartial- there is no way in the world a news broadcaster can be. Whose opinion should they promote? You suggest an entire nation’s, but the UK is a vastly disparate community. We have no shared opinion and no ‘national agenda’ (except that of the government, and surely a station that is only a mouthpiece for the government would be useless?).

Eh, that was a bit of an essay: I just feel quite strongly about the BBC. It’s not perfect, but I feel it to be part of my identity as an English person, I think.

Meh, not a big fan of the BBC.

I can personally accept editorial Bias as a necessary part of news media. What’s unacceptable is when that bias is paid for out of public funding. Everyone here PAYS for the BBC – how would you feel if you had to pay for Fox news, even if you never watched it?

Suffice to say, the BBC sees fit to spend £200,000 on trying to legally prevent the publishing of a damning report on their Middle Eastern journalism. The fact is that’s PUBLIC money being used to cover its own ass. That’s sick and a gross breach of ethical guidelines. If the government did that there would be uproar.

Again, TV stations are free to maintain an editorial bias but not if they’re a public broadcaster and purport to convey the opinion and national agenda of a nation. If you’re interested Read Robin Aitkin’s book “Can we trust the BBC” – written by a BBC journalist of 18 years.

Here is a crazy idea! Why not get smaller cars that needs less fuels?

You don’t even pay half as much as we europeans do. So stop whining and jump up on your bike and get that fat moving!
