Just a wee mistake, but in the section in the Scottish referendum you said they showed bias towards the yes campaign as they wanted to remain in the union when it was actually the no campaign that wanted to remain part of the union and the yes campaign was in support of independence

The BBC should be impartial, but they also have a duty to tell the truth if the rest of the media are biased.
At university, the BBC came in to do a talk for us. This was during Johnson's popularity rise. The talk was so clearly interwoven with propaganda that about 15 minutes in, the room emptied out and the guy that came in was forced to stop the talk as there was no longer an audience there to listen...

The idea of paying for a license to use something I already own to watch a channel i've little interest in is ridiculous.
You must have only been able to fit 10 into a video instead of the probably 20 plus. Still really the channel. Very fun to watch.
I stopped paying for my TV licence 3 years ago. £480 better off so far and never looked back.
I don't buy a license, I don't watch the BBC.
Is this going to be a multi-part series?
I won’t forgive them for the way they badly treated Christopher Eccleston.
IMHO finding ten times the BBC was not biased would perhaps be easier!

The biggest problem the BBC has now is most young people today get their media content via mobile devices rather than television. Whether it's through social media or commercial news channels that 24/7 live stream on KZread or streaming services for films like Netflix and Amazon. This is the new way that people (mostly the younger generation) consume their content, so we're getting to a point where the TV license funding for the BBC is starting to out live its usefulness.

I can only comment on my friends behalf here, but remember when the BBC and other news outlets were on about HGV driver shortages? my friend was the first to get on a training course, after he passed his class 2 he found there was no work around, subbing out work and the class 1 HGV drivers he spoke to also find work to be scares with lower pay than before, now with all these new qualified drivers, companies can easily lower hourly rates, tell newer drivers that they need more experience on the road for insurance means and reduce everyone's pay because of it. I'm going to stop watching the BBC and cancel my TV license because they read statements from the rich and wealthy and influence everyone to benefit them
I have a feeling this may have been influenced by recent going ons with a big eared crisp seller and his suspension. First time in his career he was sent off as well. The BBC isn't impartial and hasn't been since 2017
This is so weird and so unAmerican that a channel dedicated to entertainment like celebrities, tv shows and movies has made a video about the BBC and the British news, politics, economy and social issues. Apparently, news and current affairs are now entertainment?!

This is pretty ridiculous. I don't think any of those has been proven (though I accept some look very dodgy indeed), and some of them, even if true, wouldn't be classed as 'corrupt'.
Tory Laura is a classic example.
I don’t think that the 2014 referendum was won by a small margin. 10% in favour of the union is not a small large margin it’s a large one.
Many of these points are opinions, not factual, and the worst thing you're illustrating in most of them is bias. Bias is just bias - to be corruption, there needs to be personal or financial gain earned because of that bias.
ONLY 10???????
Only the BBC??? Oh please!!! Sounds like someone has a personal vendetta against the BBC. Smdh
Only 10😆
I think the BBC's overt anti-American attitude deserves a placement somewhere in the top 5 of this ranking.
This was a weird self contradictory list. BBC should not "parrot" anonymous govt. sources? How then would the public later know that these claims were made by public officials, but were untrue? Of course the journalist isn't "beyond reproach". If it's shown that he/she lied about the existence of anonymous sources, the journalist would loose both integrity, job and career. Journalists do reveal anonymous sources to their editor(s) if needed, who then contact and confirm the sources. BBC should reflect the majority-meaning on different matters? So, not just the facts then? Or only unbiased reporting? The vast majority of journalists work in local publications or channels... it's news to me that they are upper class. In more or less every country in the world, the major news-outlets are focused on the capital. That is ordinarily the political and financial centre of a nation, where the most important decisions with regards to the entire country is made. Daily. The people living in smaller cities and towns often get more local news than people living in and around the capital, as their news media focus more on local matters than the smaller outlets around the capital. According to the narrator, BBC should be unbiased. Just not in scientific questions. Well actually, on *some* scientific matters both sides should be heard, but apparently not in all cases after all (has anyone seen an increase of flat-earthers presenting their views on BBC lately?) - but the BBC should no matter what always be unbiased in questioning political affairs, like the Scottish referendum for instance, not the Tory Islamofobia though... Look through newspapers during every single political administration, and you will find that the press will always be questioning, and at times in conflict with, the ruling party. That being Thatcher or any other politician who wants to make changes that will interfere with the lives of many. If not, the press would hear they weren't critical enough, and rightfully so. She was, by the way, neither the first or last Prime minister called out for being a war monger. Just ask Tony. No, most journalists don't know the intricacy of financial services or politics. Just like most of them don't have a background as a pro footballer. The presenter shown on the screen reading the financial news, probably is a journalist. But there and then he is acting as a news anchor reading for instance official press releases and the work of other staff members. He is not there as a specialist whatsoever. That is also why larger news outlets hire experts in different fields, on for instance medical, financial, historical, military, extra terrestrial, scientific, etc. etc. matters. Which also is criticised. I don't know enough about the Jimmy Saville story yet, but if half of what I've been told so far is true, it will always be a stain on BBC's reputation. Deservedly so.
