Yes, i’m afraid to say the BBC are no longer fit for purpose as an independent, politically neutral and impartial and unbiased news entity. The articles are now generally unbalanced, and do not provide a fair assessment of news, general opinions and views of the UK public. This has been especially noticeable over the Covid-19 pandemic, with a continual stream of fear based news articles, generally focused on a few scientists (especially SAGE) who insight fear into coming out of lockdown, despite the UK having one of the worlds most comprehensive vaccine programmes. We should note that on 31/05/2021, 1 person died of Covid-19 yesterday in the UK, and the BBC headline yesterday was “Covid-19: UK in early stages of third wave – scientist” (biased, single opinion of 1 scientist) and today is: “Covid-19: Job not done despite vaccination success, scientist warns” (biased, single opinion of 1 scientist). You will not read an article in the BBC headline which says something like “Covid-19: UK looks forward to the end of lockdown in June, as current hospitalisation and death figures provide optimism”. It makes you question why, as a nation, we continue to pay a TV licence fee to an organisation like this … ? And the paragraph above, is just the “tip of the iceberg” with regard to the BBC.
Just one further update on 01/06/2021; and article from the BBC here for ZERO reported deaths. Even this headline is surrounded by negativity… it’s as if they don’t like the idea of not having Covid to write headlines and spread fear about…some people and groups genuinely do not want to go back to normality.
