Do reform voters agree that the BBC has backed them?

That’s the skill of the bbc, people are convinced they are bias by providing a platform to the opposing view you have. It can be argued it’s balanced reporting but they will have a desired leaning not to a particular party but the establishment maintaining control.

Maybe. The BBC doesn’t have adverts, so there’s none of that “woke advert full of minorities” stuff certain commentators love to whip up outrage about.

Plenty of adverts on all their platforms to those of us who live outside the uk.

Surely they can’t argue they don’t pander to advertisers when they clearly profit from them.

lol for undermining his re election by making a programme that wasn’t seen by the US electorate! He’s unlikely to get far with his case but that’s not the point it all about bullying and intimidation. The BBC were fucking stupid mind.

The BBC have backed the wrong horse - it would seem, they’ve thrown their weight behind Reform and the far right in quite a major way but Reform won’t support the BBC and will almost certainly defund it and promote GB News - it’s like a turkey voting for Christmas. I’m not a fan of the BBC it’s completely lost it’s way but it can and should play a vital role in reporting news in an impartial way but it’s stopped doing that to some extent and seems to feel the need to sensationalise everything and play the click bait game when it really shouldn’t.

I must admit, it's frustrating that such talentless nonentities receive such vast salaries. I can't see how it can be justified.

It can't. Whenever anyone raises an eyebrow over such eye-watering salaries for what are public sector workers the reply is always the same line of bullshine - it matches what the private sector pays. Well, let 'em fuck off to the private sector.

Time = money
Knowledge = power
Power = work/time
Knowledge = work/money ==> Money = work/knowledge

Which explains why idiots are systematically promoted to managerial positions.
Or the less you know the more money you get.

I think the BBC’s claim that they need to pay these inflated wages in order to attract “The Best Talent” is a nonsense. The BBC do not need to compete for talent to draw viewers, it has a guaranteed income, funded by a TV licence, regardless of who “tunes in”
