Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

[dronefromsector7G]

Are they getting rid of commentators as well, that would encourage me to watch.

They should give us soundtrack options. Babbling brook, rainforest animals or thunderstorm

 

[bluethrunthru]

Quite

Imagine seeing MORE goal attempts, rather than three people stating the bleeding obvious or messing around with TV graphics.

I'm just worried about the health of Romesh Ranganathan. He's on everything else, why not MotD?

I believe the BBC contract with the PL limits highlights to max 10 mins per game. MotD could be just put out as a You Tube shorts or a tick tock from now on

Or just the crowd noise, if there is any....

That’s actually a version of MOTD that I think I’d prefer tbh.

Regardless though, this is an absolute clusterfuck by the BBC/government. They’ve backed themselves into a corner here.

You really couldn't have imagined this country a decade ago?

That rules us out then ;-)

I used to work for the BBC a long time ago and I love the BBC, it is or was the best public broadcaster in the world. The soft power it created for the UK by its multiple foreign language radio stations was priceless. The TV shows it made has brought billions into the UK economy. Its teaching of technicians was exemplary and it lead to the UK making huge films because we had the technical expertise. For instance nobody has ever made wild life documentaries like Attenborough. Dr Who is massive world wide, some of our comedy shows are legendary.

But the BBC is "woke" what a load of bolloxs, its fucking propaganda so that some Capitalists can get their hands ona successful venture and turn it into another far right fuckwit channel.

If they had told me I could not air my political views, I would have told them to fuck off.

What this kerfuffle does though is give the fascist cunts in charge of our country the opportunity to sell the BBC off to their mates. They have wanted to do it for years. It will happen and treasued institutions like MOTD will be no more. Why else have gone after Lineker.

If that was the case at the time I agree. I didn't see that. However he isn't a BBC direct employee so can express his opinion. I don't agree with everything he says but that isn't the point in my opinion. It's state interference in the media.

I quite agree regarding free speech ,as I mentioned initially .
I believe it to be much more important to the furtherance and advancement of society, than simply the usual tribal shouting at politicians,It's how ideas are spread around and tested.
Having said that, not all ideas are of the same value or carry the same weight , he is not someone I personally would seek out for an opinion on anything, others may think differently, but each to their own.
It has now rekindled my feeling annoyance at the the coach wreckers.Time for a chat with Mr Fiddoch Ithink.

Or howler monkeys mating, for those of us who want something still quite similar to the commentators but just a bit easier on the ear..

 

[Bodicoteblue]

So he has a lofty perch and should keep his mouth shut?

Who is allowed to speak out? Who has a voice to facilitate speaking out? Is that selective?

I have nothing against you by the way and mean you no ill. I find this whole thing very frustrating - lineker has given the government an open goal of anything - people are talking about this instead of 13 years of ruining the country

They’re not mutually exclusive.
We can just add this on top of the heap of all the other monumental fuck-ups.
It‘s getting bigger and smelling worse.

The only problem it would be the same editors that would be putting the highlight packages together. And the BBC Sports web page would be still spouting their biased articles/match commentary
