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

Am I missing something here.
Linekar like him or not has voiced his opinion on twitter or what ever it is.
And some people don't agree with his opinion..

It's that the point of an opinion.
If he's Labour tory or what ever he's entitled to an opinion?

I am just reading the growing reaction to this on, ironically, the BBC website.

This is not going to end well for the BBC. I think a lot of senior heads will roll before this is over. About time, in my opinion.

Especially if he is highlighting the hyprocrisy from Suella Braverman

Once the novelty wears off and a bunch of amateurish new faces present it most will watch on iplayer and ffwd through the studio bits

Doesn't everyone do that already

 

[Postman Pep]

Fuck me looks like the format they would use to link an obit.

The speed of the decline is staggering, what sort of country are we creating for our kids and grandkids to inherit. If we don’t put the brakes on soon it could well be too late.

I have just written and then deleted the longest post I’ve ever written on here which almost included a swear word (little *s for the letters). I agree with you @woody1968 and I worry and I’m scared for the younger generations.
I need to stop reading and get to my bed. Night night and sweet dreams. :-)

 

[ninjamonkey]

What did he say?

Called Liverpool fans victims.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Well said - he’s not everyone’s cup of tea but there are far far worse and he was a top top player in his day so in my book his football opinion is worth something. Don’t mind him to be honest and like you say I don’t get the hate either.

Who doesn’t get ridiculous hate nowadays with sad trolls calling them a ‘****’ ? It’s the social media world we sadly live in that someone like Lineker can be a target of hate.

 

[sir baconface]

Like there was when Sugar said Mick Lynch was a power hungry sled publicist or when he tile everyone to vote Johnson to stop Corbin?

Isn’t Sugar a Labour guy? Whatever, he’s a total prick. So what was your point again?

 

[burning blue soul]

The worst bit of any football broadcast is listening to the shite from pundits. They have far too much to say on stuff they shouldn't.
They are also biased and way too chummy.
If I wanted to listen to opinionated football wankers I'd go to the pub.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

no - I just think that journalists are not prepared to overlook what is happening

It’s the right answer. Doing this to Lineker has far ranging impacts on freedoms that the press/media enjoy.

Fuck about with these freedoms and there is only one outcome.

What a daft place to move this thread, I get it was always going to get political and end up in the subforum, but why this particular loaded one, at least leave it with its own discussion.

 

[WestGorton]

This government has torn us all apart for year's. I have close friends/family who are Tories and they are being dragged in because they believe what they read. We need moderation and logic. Stop the hate.

 

[ZenHalfTimeCrock]

Surely, the most obvious choice.

 

[Metal Biker]

Might make for longer highlights of the games. I'm really not interested in what a pundit 'makes' of the game everyone just saw at the expense of actual game footage.

Or come on the match thread on here if we're not winning 5-0 at half time.

 

[bluethrunthru]

SKY handed the initiative by the Beeb - you couldn't make this shit up

 

[bluethrunthru]

Good riddance Lineker is a **** anyway

Agreed Leicester never won the PL

 

[BobKowalski]

This is simultaneously the most stupid and the most hilarious outcome imaginable. Sunak has had his French trip upstaged as the story now is, how Nazi is the Govt, and is the BBC a Govt mouthpiece, run by right wing political appointees.

All because of one fucking tweet that would have been forgotten about 24 hours later if they had possessed the good sense to ignore it. Instead, they went into full frothing hysteria mode (as did a couple of posters on here) and now the affair is eating everyone alive.

Unbelievable, Jeff!

True, they may be opinionated football wankers on the matchday thread, but they are OUR opinionated football wankers!!! :)
