The Old JA606 (BBC) that many of us contributed to was one of the first casualties of Beeb cost cutting, but hey Admin1 saved the day
As the News papers are reporting the Beeb the state broadcaster does seem to be in turmoil, as it is perceived today to be overly politically biased.
The corporations record of reporting & coverage are of course in the public domain for full scrutiny.
As the state broadcaster the corporation does demand a substantial fee from anyone who owns a TV, irrespective of their political persuasion, ethnicity or protected characteristic. Avoidance of the fee can result in a criminal conviction & a hefty fine.
As the state broadcaster the corporation has a duty of care to the licence fee payer to exercise due diligence by maintaining a neutral political position.
Recently the BBC broadcast a very controversial live set from Glastonbury.
This Live set was not well received by the government and the corporation was forced to remove the set from its online selection. The BBC hierarchy have issued an apology & senior management have been forced to resign.
Glastonbury have taken the stance, if you are not comfortable with our politics then you dont have to attend. Fair enough!
But with the BBC the licence payer has no such luxury.
Today it seems that the BBC is making the news, not doing what it is paid to do, which is covering it
So has the BBC lost its way ?
The BBC, Has it lost its way ?

BBC have just changed it's current headline from:
"Children fetching water killed in Israeli strike in Gaza, emergency officials say"
to
"Gaza officials say children killed in strike as Israeli military admits 'error'"
to make it more Israeli friendly.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's more 'friendly' towards Israel about the revised headline?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They didn't fire on children on purpose.
IT WAS A MISTAKE.
Every day we hear of these mistakes. And not just from BBC.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What if it was an error? Surely that is the more accurate headline,

It's all just a deflection tactic anyway – let's talk about a few words rather than war crimes.

What if the BBC has always been this bad, it's just now we have other sources of information that can expose it?
