Dark days at the Beeb.
Isn't it amazing that it takes a foreign President to clear out some of the biased dross at the BBC. Sadly there are many more in the 'Wokey-Kokey-Klub' who should be shown the door. We really MUST have an independent news service that reports without bias, especially when it concerns foreign politics; whether that be left, right, or anywhere in between. The whole world used to rely on the accuracy and impartiality of the BBC; that, sadly, is now at risk.
Both Davie and Turness should have known better. These are not stupid people. Davie was well-educated, and even stood as an MP (unsuccessfully). Ms Turness is also no stranger to good education (even though she was expelled from school), and has degrees from two universities (Surrey and Bordeaux).
Davie was the BBC's Director General; and the buck had to stop with him! And Turness was Chief Executive of BBC News. Neither are positions that should involve corruption. Both have now resigned after Tr*mp's intervention. And rightly so!
The UK often accuses the USA of getting involved in overseas politics; and now here WE are, found to have been meddling in the last Presidential election, in the most unacceptable way.
Whatever their politics, they should certainly NOT be 'doctoring' video coverage. The USA's own electorate can decide who they wish to run their country, without any help from the BBC, and they chose Tr*mp.
The BBC always had an excellent reputation for impartiality; that reputation has been seriously eroded in recent times. We've had the Gaza film scandal, the use of woke nonsense to describe pregnant women, and all the Savile, Bashir, Edwards, and Wallace, episodes; the list goes on. To gain a reputation takes time, to lose it can be instantaneous.
I hear that Tr*mp will be claiming 'damages' against the BBC. Well, I hope he wins, because that would be 'right'; and one should always be on the side of what it 'right'. But at the same time I hope he gives gives any settlement to charity.
Aunty's now looking extremely tarnished.
p.s. Just in case you are unaware, 'Aunty' is what English people call the BBC.
'Davie and Turness are not stupid people's
ReplyDeleteActually, that is exactly what they are, there were following an agenda but were found out, and as is so typical in such circumstances try and divert the attention elsewhere
They may well have been educated, but they were still stupid to think that there would be be a day of reckoning at some point.
I meant 'not stupid' only in the educational sense. Otherwise of course they were stupid, and we can't have such people at the very top of the Corporation. I think there may well be more resignations to come.
