Why isn't Scotland allowed to have it's own broadcasting? Why, because then we'd be able to counter all those everything in Scotland is 💩 stories with facts and WM controlled BBC cannot allow that for fear we'd leave the UK and take our hugely valuable resources with us.

It’s been mental in BBC Shortbread…on a loop so it keeps Scotlands lower unemployment rates out of the news!
The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

“The scale of Labour’s collapse under Starmer is so steep and fundamental, never has Labour’s vote deserted in such numbers in its 125 year history. Not in 1931 when Ramsay MacDonald joined the Tories; not in 1981 when four ex-Labour Cabinet ministers broke away & formed the SDP.”

Nowhere in discussions about 'bias' in the BBC & the hysterical right-wing pile-on do many people cite the groundbreaking research by Glasgow University Media Group from 1970s. Starting with 'Bad News' (76) & 'More Bad News' (80) they systematically analysed BBC & ITV news.

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
