What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC.
This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting.

Incredible indeed
Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News.
GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...
The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump
It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern

Just listening to a lady on 5 Live complaining about the BBC reporting the IDF bombing a hospital " too quickly ". She would prefer if the genocide was not reported at all, of course. I am so tired of my family history being leveraged to justify the unjustifiable.

This, for me, is one of the heaviest records of all time, any genre. Can't imagine how other worldly this would have sounded coming out of speakerboxes in 1964. Reissue of the century so far for me.
