Maybe back during the Labour days and the early years of the collation but now it's a Tory outfit. more and more conservatives are getting top jobs there and right wing bias journalists like Laura Kuenssberg are getting free rein to say what they like. you would swear sometimes BBC News has turned into GB News with the amount a rightwing leaning stories they put on.

Looks like Lineker put his foot in his mouth one too many times now.

Quitting before he gets pushed ..

To Err is human, to keep doing it is stupid and you deserve to go.

He become bigger than the BBC. Too much politics in a simple sports game. Good riddance bye.

The BBC need some new faces going forward.

I’d cancel Naga Munchetty. She pleaded a couple of years ago that the boat-people needed a place of safety.

Funny to see this has become a thread with people requesting that the BBC cancels even more people who they don't personally like. ;)

Why not? It’s all part of the same problem at the BBC.

I recently completed the BBC survey of what we want from “our BBC”. The questions were all about whether I wanted so see more or less of the stuff they currently do. No opportunity for addressing the quality of their journalism in terms of impartiality, etc.

Luckily I can get rte news for better reporting on the genocide rather than the BBC ITV sky news blandness.

tbf, your idea of "impartiality" would be Jacob Rees-Mogg or John Redwood…

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
 
QED…

Impartiality in news reporting shouldn’t just be about if someone has a view, inviting someone with an opposing view on to counter them - if one side states "it’s raining outside this window" and the other disagrees, the interviewer’s/reporter’s job should be to open the curtains to check if it’s raining, not let either side spout on about unsupported statements.

If you think that the Victorian Pencil™ or The Vulcan are impartial because their statements and world-view aligns with yours, you may need to re-check your definition of "impartial"…

Sephiroth 19-05-2025 17:21
Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
 
QED nothing. We just have different views. You seem to be part of lefty group think where these two are concerned.

Hugh 19-05-2025 17:26

People who don’t agree with Seph - "lefty group think"
People who agree with Seph - "impartial"

Respectable and sensible are insufficient qualities on their own.

So old man John Torode is gone. I found him to be creepy. Just his persona was strange. An old man trying to stay relevant.

Gregg Wallace seemed in your face type. Not an issue for me personally.

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
 
Dont really know of either as I dont watch Masterchef.

Gregg Wallace seems to have done enough to warrent going.

John Torode seems another example of BBC Cancel Culture gone mad.
He made some comment at a social event 6 or 7 years ago, totally unwarrented response IMO.

or possibly the new presenters ticking all the right boxes but having no charisma and/or knowledge of what makes football fans watch.

It's not a very good Torygraph article. Audiences are down that amount across the tv,
Which it admits itself:-
Quote:
Such a drop is in line with falling television ratings more broadly and Match of the Day has managed to maintain its share of the overall viewing audience in its time slot.
They just put Lineker in the headline to click bait their rabid readership.

Nobody, and I repeat nobody, watches MOTD for who presents it.

I know of quite a few (yes yes anecdotal) who no longer watch it because of the crap presenters - who have zero 'stage presence'.*



* Stage presence is a skill that requires experience and practice to develop. It involves the ability to captivate and engage the audience through a combination of skill, charisma, and presence. A performer with excellent stage presence can create a memorable experience for the audience and leave a lasting impression.

IMO lots of news readers are boring too . . unlike Angela Rippon :naughty:

Re: Cancel culture at the BBC
 
Fair enough, I watch it because I want to watch the football highlights.

I don’t understand where the presenters figure. Yes they can be dicks but just forward past them and watch the football.

You won't find Halifax Town on there, in case you were waiting for their appearance. ;)

Ahh, well if you thought you knew me, which you don’t.

You’d know that I am originally from the great state of Liverpool, watched Everton since the late 70’s, to the glory years of the mid eighties and now through a very disappointing 30 years of nothing, And is now also a season ticket holder for the new stadium.

So no, I’m not waiting for their appearance, you are quite correct.
