It ISN'T left wing anymore then the guardian is!

A media outlet which is pro war at the drop a hat, is promoting the policies of governing elite.

When you investigate who sits on the board, you find the same names appear on the board of the bbc, guardian and the right wing media!

BBC' reporting has NOT been unbiased.

Vanessa Beeley broke a story about Syria. Straightaway Jane Corbin did a whitewash job, for panorama.

Laura Kuenssberg DROOLED over Boris Johnson leaving no doubt who she was promoting!

Since BBC 's license fee is set by the government, it's a tax, BBC does as the government of the day expects! Cross it and bye bye license fee!

The BBC misses no opportunity to call RT, propaganda, because it is funded by Russia! The irony seems to be lost on the bbc It too is funded by the state, since it's a tax people ARE forced to pay it! Yet it's NOT the needs of its payers It serves!

It failed to inform what the Health and social care act 2012 meant!

BBC' new Director General Tim Davie is well of the bbc's lack of impartiality!

"New BBC Director General Tim Davie is set to tell staff it is now a condition of their employment to be politically impartial."

Answer 2

The BBC is a paedophile ring which has been proven time and time again, Rolf Harris , Jimmy Savile, Stuart Hall, Derek McCulloch, the list goes on and on and on

Answer 3

Yes, the BBC is blatantly Left-Wing. They probably support austerity so that when is kicks in they can have something to complain about and then when the scum start to smash shops and steal again they can tell everyone how 'peaceful' they are.

Answer 4

Some of Kuenssberg's reporting during the election campaign was too pro-government.

The fact is the country would be in economic dire staits if interest rates on the money it has borrowed weren't historically low. In the scheme of things, the measures proposed by Sunak won't make much of a dent in the debt.

Answer 5

The BBC itself is left-wing.

Answer 6

Laura Kuenssberg is a one-woman opposition to the 

government and represents nobody but herself.

Edit - you obviously are not listening to her if you think she is a supporter.

Answer 7

austerity isn't really right-wing, but it was a Cameron/Osbourne plan in the last 10 years, so you associate it with tory.

Labour did austerity in the late 70's for example.
