It's no coincidence that SNP diehards think it's anti-SNP, Brexit obsessives think it's anti-Brexit, Tory extremists think it's anti-Tory, hardline feminists think it's anti-women, Trump supporters think it's anti-Trump, Putinistas think it's anti-Russian (and so on). Tell any of these groups that it's somewhere in the middle, not perfect, but not a mass brainwashing corporation either, and you'll usually get an exasperated lecture on the topic. That's pretty much inevitable given the way it's funded and the fact that, unlike other media organisations, it's supposed to be neutral (rather than openly biased).

    Away from politics, its entertainment contribution is a mixed bag of good and appalling, documentaries and coverage of the arts is consistently world class, the sports coverage is slipping into irrelevance except on radio (where it's still excellent - TMS, some of the football coverage, etc.) and the website is fairly good but could be a lot better.
    Well said, agree with all of this. The conspiracy theories of SNP supporters about the BBC are pretty boring.

    The way it's funded is obscene. You dinna pay, fu(k do you care
    They created Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage. You sound like Trump
    It's political output would embarrass Robert Mugabe. You sound like Trump here as well.
    They lost the BDO to C4. Its pish. Good riddance.
    They lost everything else to SKY. And now to BT, Sky sports is a joke just now
    Claire f*cking Balding. WYOWYN? Might be interesting.
    Stephen f*cking K f*cking Amos. Agreed. Utter utter unfunny (unt

    That'll do for starters

    A shortened version of this video ..

    https://youtu.be/Ajd4R-9BEIw

    For the record I know a young man who was a historian for the BBC down south Mr Richards said himself the BBC ARE biased .

    That was one of the reasons why he left the BBC and he's English.

    He's my neighbour in Sierra Golf rather interesting fellow.
