Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[I'm With Stupid]

He's not in news or current affairs, so no such clause exists. The BBC being impartial doesn't mean people can't have opinions, it means they are meant to cover both sides of the story.

He didn't even voice his opinion on the BBC's platform anyway, so it's got nothing to do with them. The whole thing is a bizarre overreaction.

Yep, how do they square this with employing Jeremy Clarkson for years who would write a column of his hilariously outrageous views in The Sun every week, and would regularly say something controversial specifically to promote a BBC programme? They actually banned news and current affairs presenters from writing newspaper columns back in 2003, but that's never been a rule for other presenters. I don't see how tweeting is any different from having a paid opinion column.

As I've said all along, they love to point the finger at some lefty comedian or sports presenter, while the entire news output is taken over by Tories.

No pundits / post game analysis means the perfect opportunity to sweep contentious decisions / blatant cheating completely under the carpet.

Be careful what you wish for.

Does the BBC been impartial cover football as well ?

No

Does that mean admitting cancelling the other people now wasn't okay? Is cancelling anyone for any views whatsoever, supportive or not, now not okay?

Where are we on the spectrum of morality, it appears to keep changing.

No, what I’m saying is that there’s an awful lot of people complaining about cancel culture who’ve now decided they want Lineker cancelled.

I don’t mind Shearer and Wright. Murphy though? Ugh.

Impartiality though surely doesn’t mean ‘cannot attack the government’?
Lord Sugar is paid by the BBC and is the face of The Apprentice and yet he said this, in an election year, as well….

Never trust a Tory - end of.
Gary Lineker is entitled to say or tweet anything he wants to.
This is called free speech.

 

[Jamshopbridge]

Exactly. The BBC could have had its cake and eaten it.

I struggle to understand how and when people running things became so fucking stupid.

I would say it happened in the run up to the 2010 General Election and has continued ever since....
