The BBC should be as impartial as it can be, but as you suggested there is actual bias and perceived bias and quite frankly it’s impossible for the BBC to please everyone. For example, if they report on the War in Ukraine it is for our U.K. audience which is very supportive of Ukraine. However I’m sure some Putin supporter would say it’s biased. I can’t really see a way out for the BBC but they have made a complete mess of dealing with Lineker who now holds the beeb by the nuts. Probably better to allow anyone to say anything they want away from actual BBC work or be absolutely ruthless in observing full impartiality in which case they should have just sacked Lineker and reinforced the point. Now it’s just a shambles….

Good post.

I’ve generally been supportive of the BBC as both sides scream bias whenever they hear something they don’t like, and I tend to think it has walked the line of impartiality pretty well in terms of it’s news output.

But they’ve made a mess of this, and it’s clear that installing a DG and board with very close ties to the Tory party, is problematic. It’s obvious that cabinet members have been onto their old chums and told them to deal with Lineker, and that’s quite a dangerous precedent.

I’ll tell you what if Fiona Bruce isn’t a Tory she does a pretty good impression of one .

I remember seeing something about her husbands advertising agency representing the conservative party. It was a few years back though.

Government ministers shouldn't be going anywhere near a channel like GB news.
Home of conspiracy theorists.
