THE BBC has been asked to explain why it has not reported on a large-scale anti-Brexit rally in the centre of London …

Why is BBC going shit now? I loved their impartial coverage but now this is giving me second thoughts on what they have covered till now has been truly impartial.

Not sure if you’re joking or not, but the BBC is always biased towards the current UK government.

That’s not to say they are bad at reporting news, you just need to be aware of the biases and tendencies when reading their reporting.

Impartial coverage from the BBC, when?

Impartial coverage? More like Imperial coverage!

The BBC hasn’t been impartial for at least 20 years. Not only that, but they’re the most transphobic publicly funded institution in the UK.

The BBC hasn’t been impartial since it was established, it’s sole purpose was to support the British State, that was it’s entire purpose of being created in the first place. I mean it’s not like there was never any news in England prior

Can you expand on that? They’re my main news source and I’ve never got transphobic vibes from them.

There’s an entire Wikipedia article on one of their more egregious cases, where they platformed a genocidal rapist cis lesbian who was claiming all trans women are rapists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22We%27re_being_pressured_into_sex_by_some_trans_women%22

OK, that’s one really article that was in bad faith, but I would argue the topic has journalistic value. But it should have been more nuanced.

Does that make the entire bbc transphobic? I am in full support of trans rights (I have a gender fluid child), but not everything is 100% black and white (cfr gender ;)) , one bad article doesn’t make the entire bbc transphobic.

Fair enough. Most articles are still about the original article, but it does seem the bcc (or at least the dinosaurs in control) has its own (shitty) trans agenda… .

Thanks for not attacking me, but giving actual info. Appreciate it.

I’ll certainly be more wary about the bbc in the future.

where they platformed a genocidal rapist cis lesbian

Genocidal? They’re mass murdering a special group of people? How have I not heard of this person?

Don’t embellish the point. It completely undermines what you’re saying.

People who refuse to acknowledge forced sterilisation as genocide are genuinely some of the worst type of people.

I don’t think you should be sterilised but I do think you should stop being such an ignoramus.

Somebody is forcibly sterilising people? How have I not heard of this person?

Thanks for this. Really opened my eyes.

What are some more central/impartial news source for international coverage?

Honestly? There isn’t really one. I think the best you can do is expose yourself to various sources and apply a very, very, very high dose of skepticism to everything you read.

Brits don’t realise how bad BBC’s coverage always was. They covered for Saville, their foreign reports are a joke for most part and they are more of a propoganda for the government.
