Ok, the boss of the Beeb has resigned. The head of news; gone. So that’s taken care of the ‘bias’ then. Hah! Its over. The problem’s gone. The BBC will now forevermore sit on the proverbial fence of impartiality and dispense news untainted by bias, preconception, prejudice or political direction.

As fucking if.

There’s bias and there’s BIAS. The former is the manifestation of mainly unconscious views which affect your ‘reporting’, which creates your own context and ‘starting point’. The latter is taking two parts of a speech by Donald Trump, cutting and pasting them so they say things he never actually said in order to fit the narrative you’ve decided upon. It IS fake news. And really, it is character assassination. And if there’s one man in the world who needs no help in ruining his perceived character, its Donald Trump. The odd thing is, it aired last year and no-one said a word about it. Now its resurfaced and Trump is going to sue for a billion dollars. Does he think he’s in Texas or something? My license fee would go up from £169 to $22,796 next year.

Yet all the BBC have to do is apologise. Oh, and ‘compensate’. By Friday. Or the legal teams will be on their way over on Trump 1 or Air Force 7 or whatever mode of climate destruction they choose. We should treat them like boat people!!! Send them to a nice hotel, all-you-can-eat buffet, give them new phones and stick a few hundred quid in their pockets.

But meanwhile, we need a new Director General (sounds positively Idi Amin) and we need one who’s not biased. And possibly one who’s in more control of the bias of others. And I reckon we need some editors, who share that dream of a balanced world-view. Good luck with that.

So I now don’t know how to view the BBC from a personal, emotional viewpoint. Mainly because the Beeb have been there my whole life. Long before Sky was born or Netflix was even a glimmer in anyone’s eye. And the trust in them comes from a long-standing relationship. Yet there’s no doubt that they’ve changed. In their obsession with the ever-growing minefield of social hyper-sensitivity to meaningless political correctness rubbish, giving them virtually no choice but to adhere to a woke-ish, more left-wing narrative which didn’t exist when all the newsreaders sounded like RAF wing-commanders just back from the war. So now that’s their bias. Born of ‘safety’ from complaints from pedantic imbeciles who agonise over the offence potential of every syllable uttered.

Ok, the Trump ‘thing’ was a step way too far. When ‘reporting’ became ‘rubbish’. And you can’t do that. But bias? Of course they’re biased. If they’re too left-wing for you, watch GB News, that’ll have you waving your Cross of St George flag in no time. Its just a matter of picking the ‘bias’ which agrees with your own.

Happy Viewing
