Guessing you didn’t listen to the Today programme during Brexit?

And that you haven’t seen Question Time recently?

Did you see Victoria Derbyshire take apart Zia Youssef yesterday?

The BBC isn’t a single person with a single voice. There’s programs and presenters that lean right and left and most are pretty centrist.

If you think the BBC is backing reform it’s just because you haven’t paid attention to the likes of GBNews who are actually backing them.

You’re absolutely correct that different parts of the BBC have different editorial stances. Contrast Newsnight with Question time for instance.

Which is why to say that the BBC is not right wing is ridiculous. Parts of it are very right wing,

And as to backing Reform, there is no editorial policy that says “we think reform should be the next government.” What there is is a deliberate policy to give Reform a disproportionate amount of airtime.

Is that backing reform? You make your own mind up on that

In my opinion they are aligned to the policies rather than the party & you can tend to put a cigarette paper between the difference in major policies from Tory, labour & reform. The fact that the bbc don’t uncover rather than carry on with the theatre tells you everything you need to know.
 
Little Mike this morning, the league looked over but arse fans were telling him they weren't as certain as everyone else due to history of wobbles..... absolutely talking bollocks.

Does anyone know of just one saying that sort of thing? Operation awwwe poor arse moving into place.

I’ve only met a few arsenal fans but they have to a man been absolute winnets.

What sort of article is that?

Not the sort of thing I expect from the BBC at all.
 
Broaden your horizons, use YouTube, there you can get both sides of the debate.

And this is where the ‘I’ve done my research’ group usually go wrong. They listen to extreme views, usually without any factual foundation, and without the critical thinking skills to know any better. It’s these types of channels, inc social media, that have done more damage to democracy over the last 15 years than anything else. It’s also why certain people think the BBC is too ‘left’, because they become so accustomed to listening to views that are so far to the right. It means anything more down the middle comes across as ‘left’ to them.

I was impressed when he asked Pep the question at the press conference - I thought then what the actual fuck.
Scrolling through his previous articles, he is a country mile ahead of 99% of football journalists. The boy does his research and doesn't seem to have a bias.
