Boo Khaki Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) It's not a 'job description', it's a simple matter of what journalism actually is. The BBC is so overwhelmingly petrified of being seen to be anything less than entirely impartial, that it leads to their journalists and interviewers regurgitating Tory PR with seemingly no attempt whatsoever to scrutinise whether what they are being fed bears any resemblance to reality, and to conduct their interviews more in the manner of a polite PR opportunity for whichever gonk the government has put forward, rather than an opportunity to forensically quiz and examine govt policy and practice. Regardless of the reasons for it, and the licence issue is obviously a factor, in much the same way that the BBC's blatant hostility to the concept of Scots Independence was in 2014, i.e. threat to the status quo, it's piss poor from an organisation that has long posited itself as a shining example of how objective media should operate. They're failing at a very basic level. Edited December 15, 2020 by Boo Khaki 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Heliums Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) An example of BBC bias by omission. Takes a foreign newspaper to discover that around half the money the UK spent on tackling the pandemic went to companies either run by friends and associates of politicians in the Conservative Party, or with no prior experience or a history of controversy. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/12/17/world/europe/britain-covid-contracts.html?action=click&module=Top Stories&pgtype=Homepage This is an extraordinary story. It's basically alleging criminality and corruption at the heart of a western Govenrnment. You'd think even if the BBC was too scared to investigate itself it would mention it, but I see they went with a story about the royals this morning instead.
