I personally don't like soft language like clumsy on this. It was an outright crime in terms of journalism. And the Beeb have higher standards to go by than other news orgs.

What I don't understand is why it was deemed necessary. It really helped nobody who dislikes Trump. And it distracts from the rich white men grooming gang stuff too. Genuinely irrational scenario.

Equally, you can't insist that people respect your Verify service as a bastion of truth when your own internal checks and balances team don't care about accuracy, as long as it fits their agenda.

It was edited to make it look like the clips were seconds apart when it didn’t need to be. As others have said, the footage was damning enough as it is, they didn’t need to enhance it so to speak.

The leaked memo from Michael Prescott also claimed the BBC are biased when it comes to Israel/Gaza and trans issues.

I'm not sure someone who was employed by Rupert Murdoch for years was the best person to be examining the BBC's conduct.

I think also the standard for the news should be the standard for the news no matter what, the "well its tax payer owned" is a cop out in some respects, all elements and outlets should be judged the same. Listening to weirdos on GB news pontificate about the truth is laughable.

Before anyone jumps on that, I agree the Beeb have been shocking and needs to be much better.......thats not my point

Isn't 'GB News' classified as an an entertainment network rather than an information provider? Isn't that how they get around the content, non-impartilaity and having the Reform MPs hosting 'non-news news' slots?

Sure, try not paying when you don't want to watch BBC content.

It's a tax, not a subscription.

I know a couple of people that don't pay as they don't (genuinely) watch it. On demand (sans iPlayer,) and radio is good enough for them.

Tbh I'm not far off that ...it's the sport that buggers that up for me

If it was a tax ...there wouldn't be a opt out option

That's not how it works. Legally you're required to have a TV license to watch any live TV from any provider. It has nothing to do with whether or not you consume BBC content.

That's why it's a tax. I have to pay for the BBC to churn out it's leftist drivel so that I can watch a sporting event live on Sky Sports.

There's an option out for income tax, don't have a job. There's an option out for stamp duty - don't buy a house.
