Clearly its all about perception.
Plenty of polls and independent reviews and fact checks show the BBC to be about as fair as possible.
Fairly equal split in those that view it as left leaning, right leaning, liberal and conservative/traditional in its coverage.
As long as those doing the wokey-cokey thinks it's a tory mouthpiece and all the gammon heads think it's a commie lgbt establishment...its doing a good job.
....and speaking of jobs....oh look...Emily's got a new one!
It’s worth watching her lecture in full. One point she did make was on the run up to the referendum in an effort to be impartial/balanced they spent 5 hours looking for a pro brexit economist to go on newsnight and bat for brexit, in contrast in five minutes they could find 60 economists who thought (correctly) that it would be a disaster for the economy. That was never mentioned at the time. Maybe it should have been as it gave a false equivalence to put the one pro brexit economist they could find on an equal footing with 60 other economists.Its less about lefty righty and more about experty morony that’s my issue. This stuff:

On R2 they always wheel out some neo-liberal psychopath from the IEA to combat any left of centre view or employee representative in a head to head debate.They do - I was involved in one of them! Although I haven't checked recent research to see if that still applies.
Where she's definitely right is in the imbalanced balance, where you have to get the counter-view on for a response, regardless of whether the counter-view is a ridiculous loonish minority. There's a difference between fairly showing two sides of a Brexit debate, say (and even then her economic example is fair as to when two sides can be disengenuous), and two sides of something where consensus is almost entirely in one side, and the opposing view is a distinct rump of nothing.
It’s unbelievable she actually said that about one of the country’s closest allies.The more she opens her mouth the more batshit crazy she sounds. No wonder she’s the favourite. The traditional Tory party is dead

She’s the best news Labour has had in ages.Someone can’t be ‘too criminal’ to be PM but they can be ‘too boring’?
Emmanuel Macron responds after Liz Truss says 'jury is out' on whether he is 'friend or foe' - as PM calls French president a 'tres bon buddy'
The frontrunner to be the next prime minister said the "jury is out" on when asked if the French president is a "friend or foe" but that if she becomes leader, she will "judge him by deeds, not words".news.sky.com

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised - he would have the audacity to do it as well.If they were being very selfish they’d say the economic situation hitting so many people is as big an advantage. Though what odds on Truss basically acting as a placeholder for the clown to return to the stage some time before the next election?

Incredible, we've gone from a vaguely intelligent but entirely corrupt and sociopathic waster, to a thick as pigshit, completely unsympathetic menace, in a matter of weeks. Thank you, Conservative party.
Posties on strike today. I voiced my support to ours yesterday.Time to get on the streets !!
Who’s in the running this time?Seems like the Italians are set to appoint their own version

Nobody from the pro Clown side would stand against him and he still has a lot of popularity with the membership. The only way I don’t see it happening is if Labour manage to unseat him in a by-election. Which I reckon they could if they really went for it

We’ve had enough of experts Mk 2

Yeah, Meloni is vile - luckily the coalition will stop her from having free rein though and the coalition system means that nothing substantial actually changes - her party is only a couple of % ahead of the left-wing party but there's no chance of them getting in with the right coalition.Seems like the Italians are set to appoint their own version
Currently have our military on joint manoeuvres with theirs. Which has been a constant for decades and rightly so. It’s just more red meat for the nutters.It’s unbelievable she actually said that about one of the country’s closest allies.

I'd join you on that hill, if it didn't have resonances of Northampton. It really us the root of all our problems, the idea that if you are popular you are right.All our problems as a country stem from when we decided polcitians were entertainers and not statesmen and I will die on this hill.

They’re a bunch of cranks and conspiracy theorists, of course they’re sick of experts.
Word for word'Where's my mail you bone idle wanker'
While promising to invest heavily in the scientific sector a couple of days before, what an absolute tosser he is.
