Come on BBC- since when are driving instructors a profession? Perleese! BBC journalists will start calling themselves a profession soon.

Anyone else noticed how Chris Mason labels anyone who voices an opinion that's vaguely to the left of his (98% population I'm guessing) an "activist"

I honestly can’t get my head around anyone saying the BBC is left wing. I mean have they watched Laura K or Chris Mason? Ridiculous.

Chris Mason has openly told viewers (BBC News at One) his personal view of Rachel Reeves. I do not watch the News and pay a licence fee to listen to the view of a man I don’t have any respect for. I want to form my own opinions and I’m quite capable of doing so. He overstepped the mark.

Why has Chris Mason not been fired. He looks to me like he’s broken the so called impartiality rules of the BBC on several occasions.

All of us: Why, in our judgement, Chris Mason is misleading on most political points, all the time.
Because he’s incapable of political commentary that isn’t marinated in his own rightwing bias. Allegations for Labour. Free passes for Tories/Reform. Every Single Time.

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

Has Chris Mason ever called Badenoch ‘deeply deeply unpopular’ or reported on the extraordinary poll that if there was a general election now, theTories would win just 14,seats?

FWIW, I do know Robbie Gibb, having met him almost 30 years ago when he was working for the Tories & always quite liked him. But the claim by this self-identifying “Thatcherite” to be a completely impartial BBC arbiter is as ludicrous as me claiming I’m not partial towards Labour.

‘A leading pollster has suggested that support for Reform UK has “topped out”, and that the momentum that was carrying the party up in the polls has ground to a halt’
Yet BBC Mason says the momentum is with Reform.

Thank god there wasn't a BBC #Germanycast in the early 1930s when a Justin Webb figure could have excused the 'excesses' of the government there whose crackdown on dissidents was presented as an administration 'honouring its promises' made before the election of 1933. #r4today

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left?
All the shifts are in just one direction.
