    Despite this glowing endorsement the BBC can be kind of shit at times, especially with political stuff. But the reporting on US stuff is normally ok because they don’t have any dog in that race.

      Shes not wrong. The BBC is a lot of shit. I once watched one of their reporters LIVE taking a side in the debate of Scottish independence, when their only job was to give each side a fair amount of time to have their say. The guy would pull the mic away from the SNP dude, and let the labour dude waffle on uninterrupted.

      And thats before you get to the decades of paedophile cover ups. In 2013 a Freedom of Information request revealed: “152 allegations of sexual abuse … against 81 BBC employees and freelancers” in a six‑month period. During operation Yewtree, over 90 people were arrested in connection with child sexual abuse. The BBC is like the current white house. Full of paedos and those who protect them.
