>hmm, where shall I get my news in a world of corporate media and covert shilling for thousands of retarded special interests? >well, I’m sure the official news service of the British Government, which has been broadcasting since the Empire, is a good place to start >go to bbc.com > “The unique Finnish word for ‘community’ that nobody can translate” > “Is religion becoming obsolete?” >”Reviving Australia’s forgotten languages” > “Behind the symbolism of this Russian Jewish socialist’s artwork” > “What straight people need to understand about gays” > “This unique village in Mozambique installed one (1) solar panel”
I’m paraphrasing but anyone who regularly checks the website (not sure about the television or radio) knows that this mundane, unuseful, trivial bullshit makes up a very high portion of what is emitted by the BBC
So why the fuck do British people still fund them? When did the BBC switch from being an informative, respectable news outlet, with the blessing of the State, to the current mass of cognitively depressing, meaningless effusion that it is today?

You can't expect critical thinking from NPCs. I learned to question narratives and consume unbiased reporting so now I get my international news from RT and Sputnik.

when they decided to appeal to young people for whatever reason
The Pidgin site is a bit more shrewd than people give it credit for. Remember that it runs on the World Service, which has a mission statement not unlike that of Radio Free Europe.
Juan Gomez
You mean it indoctrinates innocent Ugandans with Bong propaganda?
Caleb Wood
Deutsche Welle is what the BBC should be

For decades promotions at the BBC were handled directly by MI5
Probably still true
Julian Gray
Just because they do investigative and cultural journalism too doesn't make it 'unuseful'. You clearly have biases but if you just want to hear the news follow your countries far more partisan news sources that are funded by private interest groups and billionaires
Dominic Ward
I wouldn't say it indocrinates them, but there is something of a colonial air about it. If you look at the languages extant in the World Service they are all political hotspots or areas of heavily contested influence.
Austin Stewart
>you clearly have biases
Such as?
Jace Hill
The BBC has a huge leftist bias

I was using it figuratively. Everyone has biases but I'm sure the majority of people here are decently educated people who are able to interpret and educate themselves on issues without the consent of millionaire talk show hosts from multiple sources
Jonathan Gray
If the right says that the BBC is left-wing and the left says that the BBC is right-wing then I think the BBC is neutral
Isaac Baker
Do all South Americans think in binary?
Isaac Morris
You should watch question time at least once. In their effort for impartiality they end up inviting the same right wing questioners all over the country. Of course you could bring up panorama but that seems to be ongoing
James Murphy
So what would you rather. Pick your poison
Ayden Lewis
You'd be surprised at the number of people here who use Breitbart as a primary source
Colton Martinez
m8, please don't tell lies to people.
Angel Garcia
I've been writing up on Steve Bannon for a while now. He loves to start out his talks with agreeable centrist jargon and swerve to conspiracy. His movies are boring pieces of shit but he is a good speaker
John Peterson
Should I not? Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson. Do I fit in more now?
Ian Lopez
>The left thinks it has a right wing bias >The right thinks it has a left wing bias Sounds pretty based to me
Brandon Powell
bait.
BBC is great for headlines. stop scrolling too far. that's where you see the "light" news
