We need to remove all political appointees at the top of BBC.
Forever.
That is the first step in getting the BBC functioning properly again.
It is essential to our democracy that we have a properly functioning BBC.
The powerful and the fascistic hate the BBC because they want to control “truth”.

Murdoch has had his own agenda of destroying the BBC. A right wing DG and Chairman set the tone. The Chairman has said they need to platform Reform. Wrong.
Being impartial starts at the top. No political bias leaders should be appointed.

If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

This is unbelievable. Just a complete lack of belief in objectivity. And the BBC fucking caved to it
Michael Prescott was ‘“shocked” that after an hour-long Panorama documentary dealing with Trump and the January 6 insurgency, there was no “similar, balancing” programme about Kamala Harris.’
More read about the machinations between the BBC resignations, the more worrying it becomes

The departure of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness means the BBC is leaderless when it needs leadership more than ever. Where are the people at the head of the BBC standing up for it?

So far, only one political leader is prepared to mount an outspoken defence of the BBC
As part of its editorial independence, the appointment of the BBC's next editor-in-chief is meant to be entirely down to its own independent board - and out of the hands of ministers.

Yeah, this is a serious failing. Same as when Thatcher's pick, Marmaduke Hussey, forced out Alasdair Milne: hushed up, opaque, behind closed doors, secretive. This is a public body, using licence fee funds, operating according to the scrutiny of an elected government. It should be transparent.
Question are the BBC Board minutes in the public domain? Or is it just a summary? Wondering why other 'independent' institutions like the BoE Monetary Committee do put out reports & not the BBC @iandunt.bsky.social

The Telegraph who leaked the story are not an impartial actor. If as a result of their story our licence fee has to go in legal fees to combat Trumps bogus case they should pay. All these so called newspapers are just lobby groups for billionaires and the hard right of politics.
