Some people won’t be happy until the BBC are licking Tommy’s hoop. Until it does it’s a biased left wing globalist remain politically correct metropolitan elite news source.

A wonderful summary. They'd be proud of you at Broadcasting House!

The BBC exists in its current form for the intellectual good and cultural richness of this great and diverse country. Anyone opposing that is a f***ing traitor and should have their head on a spike.

No they don't. They are usually pretty carefully filtered to make most of them are of a like mind.

The reason I referred to the description by the way, is that it is almost to the word how Andrew Marr himself described the BBC a year or so ago, though to be fair to him he did not mention globalist.

No idea where it was, but it is no secret. He was certainly not being controversial in his eyes and said that as the BBC was by nature Metropolitan, it therefore inevitably had a mostly left leaning make up, which included voting remain. The PC element of the programming is hardly open to any dispute as they loudly trump it.

Read what Peter Sissons, regular BBC Newsreader for many years said about them.
Whenever he walked in the office and asked them what was the latest news he was simply handed a copy of the Guardian.

Precisely,
in other words no different to the independent channels, which also do excellent classical dramas, great educational documentaries,investigative research and much much more, in addition to dumbing down just the same as the BBC.

In an article for the Daily Mail. Where he also said

“If you want to read one of the few copies of the Daily Mail that find their way into the BBC newsroom, they are difficult to track down, and you would be advised not to make too much of a show of reading them. Wrap them in brown paper or a copy of The Guardian, would be my advice”

Reads like pandering to the Mail much? Given it’s a comic, does he expect journalists to read that? I have no doubt plenty of people at the BBC also read the Times and the Telegraph.

No not at all. Give me an example of someone who provides the educational output the BBC do please.

Aye, I have heard Sissons on about this before. These two organisations are almost joined at the hip in terms of their political opinion's and outlook. The Guardian is entitled to theirs as no one has to read it, (and these days no one actually pays to do so). The BBC should at least make an attempt to be neutral, but after an attempt to look more balanced a few years ago, once they had their charter renewed the veil dropped and it was back to normal. The vote to leave the EU seems to have driven them half mad, with Robinson and Marr both saying that the "gloves are now off", as Britain began it's negotiations to leave. Little wonder they were virtually appeasers before WW2.

You destroy your argument, and any semblance of a balanced discussion, with the last line
