Is the BBC getting too "woke" ?

[champers]

I have just looked at the BBC World News online. Headlines 1 to 3 are:

1. China strengthening her grip on Hong Kong. Fair enough.

2. Myanmar protest updates. Yes, again fair enough.

3. Indian woman keeps flower embroidery tradition alive. No, no way can this be ahead of anything about Covid, the Pope in Iraq, Aussie political sex scandal, New York political sex scandal and dozens of other topics of world relevance.

BBC World News on TV is no better. It spends ab inordinate amount of time describing how wonderfully diverse it is that it forgets it's main function which is reporting the news. If it wasn't for the fact the gorgeous Yalda Hacim and Lucy Hocking still appear on our screens BBC World News would not be worth the bother. I expect both these 2 delights will be replaced any time soon by a couple of old and fat frumps completely devoid of sex appeal.

The BBC is now so woke it is in danger of sending eerybody to sleep.

well... they are lall under Orders to have it all flowery and happy these days...

[Pilotman]

It always was, being managed by a set of leftie liberal sweethearts.  It's the last place I go for news nowadays.

Listen to LBC or listen or watch RT and Al Jazeera instead.

High Court judge ruled that the health secretary @MattHancock BROKE THE LAW in his direct awarding of multimillion pound PPE contracts?
BBC report that Harry and Megan won’t be fulfilling royal duties. No mention of Hancock’s skullduggery.

Been dissolving into the Woke corporation for yrs Champers .. but yes more recently even more so .. 

Their time is running out though as the Gov' have been looking into decriminalising the not having a licence issue which is where they got funded from and making it a civil matter .. if they ( BBC ) are so confident of the quality of their programs then go to the subscription model where people pay IF they want Beeb as you have to do with Sky , Netflix , Amazon , etc ..

... except the real focus the BBC had on Woking this programme out of the air waves; 

 - was 'the Germans' references a bit further along in the episode...

[phetphet]

Has been for years. Nothing new.

[Led Lolly Yellow Lolly]

I still watch The Sky At Night, been watching it for 40 years. . . but as for news, Auntie is just too parochial for me, and whatever is watchable is mired in the editorial foibles of the middle class ultra liberals that run it. Al Jazeera is my go to news outlet.

[RichardColeman]

They have now gone 99.9% woke for the benefit of the 0.1% of licence fee payers that are woke.  

[Surelynot]

120,000 dead, NHS being offered 1%, Johnson hoodwinking Tory donors into paying for renovations for Princess Nut Nut's decorations then trying to create a tax dodging charity for it, £2.6 million spent on a media room, Hancock breaking the law handing out contracts like confetti, reneging on the NI protocol, Fishing industry down the pan, 20% decline in exports.....The BBC is a mouth piece of the Tory government.....they have no serious journalists anymore....the only one worth her salt is Emily Maitlis

No it's the dialogue from 1.20

[vogie]

Totally left wing bias, they don't give a rats tail about their audience as long as they can preach instead of reporting news as they should. How many warnings as the likes of Emily Maitlas had her colleague Andrew Marr had.

Looking forward to some unbiased news reporting from the brilliant Andrew Neil on the new GB News which launches this month.

The BBC has had its chips, more people are cancelling their licences every day, good riddance to what used to be a world trusted service.

the only ever decent Content out of CCTV9; was a documentary about the Mauser

 - and I reckon the first instance in history the CCP has ever taken someone elses failure, and turned it into a 'real' success story...

Yeah all news stations even BBC should be taken with a pince of salt. 

 

Many slag off but RT but programs like underground and Peter Label talk program aren't bad IMHO.

Keep taking those meds - what are you on; Daily mail in the morning, Sun for lunch and finishing off with the Express (probably still keenly following the Diana story)
