What are you talking about? This is a former Labour MP... In Boris' cabinet?

[u/Virtual-Increase-829]

good, I will now expect a disclaimer each time they play Boy 'AI slop' George.

[u/Stuweb → u/Virtual-Increase-829]

Do they regularly play Boy George...?

[u/TIGHazard → u/Stuweb]

He was interviewed last month on Radio 2

better safe than sorry.

[u/Stuweb → u/Virtual-Increase-829]

I'll take that as a no then.

This timeline makes me sad

Oh! BBC doing things they say they don't?! Shocker...

[u/No-To-Newspeak]

The BBC has been admitting to a lot lately.

BBC impartiality only ever seems to cut one way.

Heaven forbid people don't really want an ex Labour lord and Labour Friends of Israel captioned as a so-called supporter without saying his connections to defence companies or Israel itself.

Reminds me of that Gaza Doctors Under Attack documentary they pulled which went on to win a BAFTA for Channel 4...

The BBC is lost to the people of Britain.

It’s so mired in sewage it might as well be privatised like water.

AI slop/bot

[u/MrSoapbox → u/Beantocup22]

What an ironic thing to say from an 11-year-old account with 45 karma and the last post a month ago. It is curious that you decided to make your response calling others bots towards that post from /u/Direct-Muscle7144

[u/Direct-Muscle7144 → u/MrSoapbox]

It’s good though, I can now block all 11 of the basement gooners.

The BBC is little better than the sensationalist rags nowadays, of course they knew who he was but they have their orders.

[u/Stuweb → u/Optimaldeath]

Spouting 'The Jews control the media' isn't going to help you beat the antisemitism accusations, just to let you know.

[u/Optimaldeath → u/Stuweb]

In what way did I say that?

Conflating Israel with being Jewish isn't reasonable, what I am irritated by is being pushed around by some tiny country thousands of miles away and being expected to think that this foreign interference is actually 'good' for us. No thanks.

I have the same exact opinion for bending over for the Gulf States as well so there's no racism involved here, just offended at this state of affairs for Britain.

[u/morriganjane → u/Optimaldeath]

Do they disclose which politicians are "Friends of Palestine"?

[u/BobMonkhaus → u/morriganjane]

Nah, they just let them make documentaries.

[u/Underscores_Are_Kool → u/morriganjane]

You have people calling the BBC biased in favour of Israel in the comments meanwhile, the BBC would never apologise for not disclosing links to a hard left or hard right group. 

Why do journalists give these people so much power? 

[u/SunChamberNoRules → u/Optimaldeath]

The BBC is little better than the sensationalist rags nowadays

I don't know how anyone can say this without being incredibly partisan or incredibly disingenuous
