Well said. It’s become a cliche that these people inhabit a different reality, but they genuinely do – the result of living inside a hermetically sealed echo chamber. Same with the Blob and every other institution in the land. It’s how Israel ends up cast as the eternal villain and how recognising biological sex becomes a "breach of impartiality". They haven’t heard a competing worldview in years. Anyone who offers one is treated as mentally defective or, if one of their own, a heretic. They'll never learn, as you say.
We’ve all suspected BBC bias for some time but now it’s clear for all to see…… apart, of course from the people in the same leftie, woke bubble. The lack of self reflection or questioning of themselves has been astounding and would be funny if it wasn’t so serious. As our tax payer funded broadcaster, the BBC has a responsibility to be impartial, to give both sides of an argument and at the very least, to do some basic journalism. The complete opposite has been happening, particularly since the Brexit debate. But what is most unforgivable is the stance on gender ideology. Not only have they refused to investigate the issue, they’ve blatantly shoved ‘trans’ down our throats at every opportunity. They have even produced educational material for children which has told lies as if they are facts. So what I’d like to know is, how many children and young people could have been saved from indoctrination and a damaged body if the BBC had done its job and exposed the cult for what it is, or at the very least, done some journalism. The BBC should be made to answer for the misery it has promoted and enabled.
Slicing together the Trump clip was worse than shoddy journalism - it was an attempt to manipulate opinion - and all the worse because it passed unnoticed until the whistle blower story was out. Friends of mine who are still in the bubble are claiming a right wing takeover of the BBC citing the number of appearances made by Nigel Farage compared with the number of appearances on the platform by Jeremy Corbyn (!) while being oblivious to the non-reporting of anything which casts transgender ideology in a bad light It’s no longer about left v right. They seem to find nothing wrong with a presenter being dressed down for referring to pregnant people as women or the BBC refusing to call Hamas a terrorist organisation - although I believe they corrected that didn’t they? I would love to see an essay from Andrew on the shift from traditional left versus right politics to the current
Yes, the shift from traditional left versus right politics to the current paradigm is fascinating. AD touches on it a bit on his About page. My own view is that liberalism got hijacked by progressivism, which has come to mean almost its opposite.
Though broadly I completely agree here it has been very encouraging that two BBC news reports two days ago referred to a 'male who identifies as a woman' in the Darlington nurses tribunal case. This is a belated but major change in their language. Time will tell.
This version of the BBC was born just over 2 decades ago. As such, it has blue hair, a septum piercing, has a room of participation trophies, has never heard the word 'No', throws tantrums when it doesn't get its way, believes words are actual violence and has a Queers for Palestine placard for its daily protest. This BBC believes it's perfect in every way because it's never heard any criticism, because it screams various phobia accusations at anyone who offers it. This BBC doesn’t believe it needs to work hard and earn respect, just demand the same respect earned by all previous versions of the BBC.
This version of the BBC must be sacked and forced to work in manual labour until it learns that money doesn't grow on trees or can be extorted from the public forever to pay it for nothing.

Absolutely. "They have even produced educational material for children which has told lies as if they are facts." Disgraceful. Makes me furious.

Yep! Agreed!

Sounds like the woke left in general.
