Lol! There is no left wing media in the UK.
Has the BBC become a Tory tool?

Not true. The BBC has been threatened with funding cuts if they don't toe the party line from the tories. It's a shame you can't see the manipulation of the media with all the right wing barons trumpeting the most destructive government in our history. Any sort of critcism or critical analysis in their eyes is described as left wing media bias, and you swallow it hook, line and sinker.
Channel 4 was going to be farmed out and sold off on the pretence of it benefitting the channel in this age of multi-media platforms so they could compete with that challenge. Channel 4 only produce one programme, all the others are bought in, and the one programme they do produce, their news reports at 7 PM, is too much for them to watch as it's so unashamedly truthful about the mess the country is in after 12 years of tory misrule.
The BBC produce many superb programmes, but their political anaysis is soft as shite at the moment, and isn't nearly as hard hitting as it should be given the absolute bullshit coming from government ministers at the moment.
Threatening the BBC and Channel 4 with existential threats because they might not say what government ministers want to hear is pure and simple facism.

Since the Hutton report the BBC have become a prognada machine for the system.
Its really sad, used to depend on them for a balanced view.

The same was done with climate change for decades.

They used to find a climate scientist saying climate change existed and a politician (usually Nigel Lawson) saying it didn't.
Here’s an example of what the BBC is up against -
Sounds pretty legitimate on the face of it.
But if you google the “campaign for common sense” you can see it is founded by a man called Mark Lehain to answer questions such as “what does diversity actually mean and does it really matter?’, ‘is there anything we shouldn’t joke about’, ‘should people be able to speak their mind at work’ and ‘can children consent to changing their gender?’”
Ok so now it’s sounding a bit right wing, Lawrence Fox, “PC gone mad”, but let’s not judge them on that.
Who is Mark Lehain?
Well he’s a former conservative candidate.
Zahawi made him an advisor to the Department of Education for 1 year and now he’s joined the Centre for Policy Studies, a right wing think tank based in Tufton Street sharing offices with -
- The LGB alliance - a group dedicated to removing the “T” from LGBT and all their rights.
- The Global Warming Policy Foundation - A think tank dedicated to the idea global warming isn’t real.
- The Tax Payers Alliance - a RW libertarian thinktank dedicated to highlighting (usually in dishonest or false ways) outrageous government spending to promote the idea all tax is bad.
- Leave means Leave
- The New Culture forum - thinktank dedicated to being anti-woke
- Migration Watch - not about birds.
- NoToAV.
What a coincidence, they just happen to be under the same roof as all the other right wing think tanks, conveniently just down the road from the Institute of Economic Affairs too.
Do we still believe the research this group has done? Or is it probable that a “common sense group” set up by a guy who runs a right wing conservative think tank with links to the government and half a dozen other right wing groups with a long proven track record of spreading false information has conducted some research to put this specific headline into the press to slander the BBC and the Telegraph has gladly obliged?
Would the Tory government’s allies and paymasters be making these kinds of attacks of the BBC is it were already a Conservative Party tool?
