The BBC's Bias Against Trump and the Challenge for Reform
Broadcasting veteran Colin Brazier argues that the BBC will use every possible means to prevent the Reform party from gaining influence in No10.
Public Perception of the BBC
Many consider it unreasonable to call for the BBC to lose its licence fee despite acknowledging the Corporation's mistakes. They often defend the BBC by citing cultural programs thought to be possible only because the broadcaster is shielded from market pressures, such as The Last Night of the Proms, Test Match Special, natural history documentaries, and Teletubbies.
Declining Trust and Quality
However, even some supporters now see this list of “national treasures” shrinking. Following controversial events like Gary Lineker’s tweets, the BBC's output is increasingly seen as akin to a "sixth-form sociology lecture." More strikingly, the BBC once known for high standards now produces content criticized as ideological propaganda rather than objective programming.
Only the BBC would cast an actress resembling Shamima Begum as a character from medieval English history (Cardinal Wolsey’s daughter, no less).
The Decline of BBC News' Reputation
Previously held as a paragon of impartial and unbiased reporting, BBC News promoted itself as the antidote to “fake news,” supporting its reputation with the fact-checking service, BBC Verify. Today, these claims sound increasingly hollow.
BBC News, we were told, was a world leader in impartial, unbiased reportage and analysis. The very antidote to ‘fake news’, with its own (comically pompous) fact-checking service, ‘BBC Verify’.
Author’s Summary
Colin Brazier highlights the BBC’s growing bias and loss of credibility, warning that it will fiercely oppose political reform while its reputation for impartiality steadily erodes.
