The BBC | Tim Davie resigns as Director General over Trump documentary edit (p 187)

[argyle]

He made a comparison did he not? It was clearly wrong.

Seems a reasonable enough viewpoint. People can agree or disagree but to lose a job over it?

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Bungle? Oh no, he was done for noncing kids.

Perfect fit!

 

[blue for life]

Shearer pulled out now

 

[xgorton]

BBC is becoming/has become a tory mouth piece.

I'd like to think nobody of any decent standing in the football presenting world will step into the temporary role.

Along with GBN and Talk tv.

 

[rowarta]

Jim White and Simon Jordan stand in.

 

[wagonman]

I don't give a flying fuck about any of it...

City are Champions and I am about to have a couple of sausage sandwiches.

I never said he was sacked. I said he's been spoken to. Any MP can raise a complaint with the BBC, but since the Tories are in Government and they control the BBC budget and as you pointed out, have their people in the top positions. It's a case of "he who pays the piper calls the tune".

If you don't like it, you can always cancel your licence fee.

If I cancel my licence fee (which as an over 70 year old I used to get free!) I would be arrested and fined. I don't knowingly break the law! :-)

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

The ghost of Lynam. Like when they put a hologram of Tupac on stage.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

The BBC have MASSIVELY fucked up AGAIN.

They haven't got a credible social media policy.

Cumberland?

 

[argyle]

Shearer pulled out now

That's good but what will he do about the Linekar situation?

 

[ninjamonkey]

Going to be the most interesting motd for years just to see who stabs Gary in the back and appears on it. Jenas and keown would be my bets.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

I hope it’s not Carragher and Neville tomorrow night

It'll be Mark Chapman, Danny Murphy and Micah Richards

 

[blue b4 the moon]

It's going to be a panel of Paddy Crerand, John Aldridge and Danny Mills, with Collymore as presenter.

hmmmm sexy

 

[Inter Me Nan]

 

[TinFoilHat]

Austerity
Food banks
Covid deaths
High Energy prices
High food prices
Government corruption

Not a murmur from the subservients.

Jug Ears tossed off MoTD and finally the revolution has begun!

 

[argyle]

It'll be Mark Chapman, Danny Murphy and Micah Richards

Will be very surprised if Micah appears as he often does the Top 10 MOTD programme with Linekar and Shearer.

I mostly use streaming services for everything these days anyway.

Aside for The Repair Shop and The Apprentice (though Eurovision is coming up) I don't watch the Beeb.

[TinFoilHat]

Can see it being just highlights no presenters

An improvement then.
