Yeah I can’t deny that. Platforming bigots is not something an organization like the BBC should do. Reality has a left-leaning bias, and the BBC over-corrects.
It’s not my first choice, clearly, but it’s ok on some topics. Others I don’t even bother to read what they have said.
It sure does, and the BBC used to have a good reputation worldwide for telling the truth and they used to flatly contradict liars during interviews. Now they just tell the truth about what opposing politicians say, which is very much not the same thing. Unsurprisingly this got a lot worse when the Conservative government appointed a Conservative political advisor in charge of the news division, but the rot started before that.
