Unfortunately recent generations of BBC reporters have squandered that reputation and now, quite frankly, it's a sad joke because it's potential to do good as an honest voice has been compromised.

The BBC's output has undermined democracy in GB since at least the mid-late 1980s. The BBC has leveraged all sorts of agendas that are left leaning. The BBC has given patronage (whether through employment, subject focus, and even the planting of 'leftist' extremists in audiences such as Question Time) to 'leftist' individuals and organisations - doing it all openly, rubbing the public's nose in it, and all the while been utterly incapable of any introspection, objectivity and self-criticism. Has an organisation ever been more deaf-eared? In short, it despises British history, British attitudes and British values. It is riddled with COMMON PURPOSE NuLabour apparatchiks from top to bottom within its management - all of whom can most kindly be described as Champagne Socialists enjoying their largesse courtesy of the licence payer, and less kindly as 'Hard Left' activists and propagandists. Arrogant in the extreme, the BBC entertains no criticism of itself, and has utter contempt for the indigenous population who have on their part been open and welcoming and accepting of others, their ideas and their cultures. For the past 35 years it has functioned as the UK's version of the the former CCCP's Pravda. And it is funded by a poll tax borne most unfairly by the poor. Weren't 'the Left' meant to be hard against poll taxes? Hypocrites too, then.

40 years ago as a BBC film director in current affairs I was saddened by the typical approach of journalists I worked with - which was to create a story based on their biased ideas and then go out and film it - so we simply selected people who were going to say the right thing and kept the camera going till the journalist got what they wanted. Mostly they were successful because it’s easy to edit clips to say what you want and, if not, they were simply edited out. My desire as a film maker was to approach the story with an open mind and tell it how it was - I was naive and out of step even then!

The camera man jumped as though I had stabbed him with a knitting needle and said that such terminology was disgraceful. What? Donkey jacket? No, referring to the Irish as paddies. They refer to themselves as paddies. I have a bottle of Paddy whisky. The diminutive of Patrick is Paddy. This guy virtually accused me of being racist, which is pretty rich given that I am of Irish stock. What was interesting was the tone of the final programme. They took the piss out of me. This rankled because I was giving my time freely to the BBC by providing them with a specialist vehicle equipped for snow, allowing them to get to places they might not otherwise have achieved.

LOL - although many of the points about bias on Brexit, Islam etc. are correct, the BBC has never been impartial - the idea that it was in the past is BS! In 1941 the BBC would not allow Cambridge mathematician Eric H. Neville to say in his biographical talk about maths genius Srinivas Ramanujan that SR showed that India could produce men equal to England's greatest as this contradicted British imperial ideology of White Supremacism. The BBC, as with the rest of the British media has kept silent on the actual history of British colonialism, not reporting the research published by Columbia U.P. in 2018 about how Britain looted $45 Trillion from India which funded much of Britain's industrial development [search 'Jason Hickel India' for his Al Jazeera article]. Apart from one mention in Simon Schama's 'History of Britain', the BBC also suppresses the fact that the British created Death Camps for the victims of the British-inflicted 1877 Madras Famine which killed 7 million. They gave inmates of these 'relief camps' less starvation rations than Nazis later gave in Buchenwald etc. for hard labour - killing 94% of inmates. As Mike Davis highlighted in his award-winning 'Late Victorian Holocausts', simultaneously record amounts of India's foodgrains were exported for British Food Security and profit. In 1901, The Lancet estimated from the Census that 19 million died of starvation in Western India during the 1890s due to such British 'Let the Poor Indians Starve' policies. The BBC 'Who Do You Think You Are' on Nitin Ganatra told us his ancestors left Gujarat to work as labourers on the brutal East African Railways due to famine in Gujarat - but no mention of WHY there was famine! George Orwell wrote famously that 100 million Indians must be forced to starve so that the British can go about their lives as they do. In Evan Thompson's BBC documentary about increasing trade with China - there was not one mention of the fact that from 1770-1907 Britain earned 1/7 of its export earnings forcing Opium onto China! The comment that Churchill spent the 1930s simply campaigning against Hitler is a myth. WC actually spent most of the 30s campaigning against Indian Independence warning that the English working classes would starve - hinting at the British plunder of Indian foodgrains. As Madhushrie Mukerjee revealed in 'Churchill's Secret War', he was also responsible for War Crimes such as Collective Punishment of Bengal and the prevention of Food Aid from the USA, Canada and Australia reaching the victims of the 1942-3 Bengal Famine which he was largely responsible for creating. The BBC never mentioned this until recent campaigns in the news forced it to do so.

The BBC definitely has an agenda for Putin and Russia, and though like you I don't support the Russian President, I once saw a well-known BBC journalist being systematically taken to pieces by Putin on RT News in which he (Putin) accurately described Russia's plight since 1991 and the history. No wonder RT has been blocked in Britain. The point is, Putin has NEVER been interviewed at any time, from the time he became President when the West was actually engaging him. My point here is that they are afraid of anything that might upset a narrative already decided in the editing room.

I’ve always loved the BBC. Happy to pay my fee and it felt like home. I’m so pleased to see that so many others are now thinking as I do. For the past ten years I’ve watched it warp out of anything unbiased. It’s become slowly and insidiously ideological and liberal left. Political elites simply knowing best and delivering programming filled with their own rhetoric, utterly imbed down and really not speaking to the population of either the UK or the globe. Now it’s a corporation that I no longer know or understand. I go to other outlets for news but in this age of censorship that is becoming more difficult by the day. I do hope this film remains on KZread. Thank you for this reporting. I miss it.

I watched live footage of a riot in Kenosha. A young man who was defending property was chased by a crazy man who reached for his gun. The young man defended himself. Then a mob started chasing him and he showed great discipline, only shooting when in real danger. I then watched the BBC's "Papers" show that morning. They had a man on who told a bunch of absolute lies and the presenter made no attempt to say this was a developing story and we didn't have the facts yet. He allowed the man to portray the young man as a racist and a murderer. I saw no corrections later. Another small example: I saw a show by a BBC presenter about racism in America. The introduction had him driving in a car listening to talk radio. One of the voices said something that sounded "racist". But I recognised the voice as Dennis Prager and it didn't sound like something he would say. With some effort, I found the clip they used. They had completely taken him out of context: he was criticising the left and the BBC had just taken his description of what he says the left does and then presented it as if it was his own views. Disgusting behaviour. I suspect they got this clip from a leftist activist group that clips right-wingers to try and destroy them. The BBC is an enemy.

At one time it was a privilege to work for the BBC and staff were paid ‘normal’ salaries. Not any more…..highly inflated salaries bring highly inflated sense of importance. I refuse to watch the BBC or live programmes…I do not have a licence and I am proud not to support this biased out dated organisation. Well done to this video producer, we need more of this honest reporting of the TRUTH!

Ahh, the Hitler Defense: “I’m getting attacked from both sides, so that proves I must be right”...

Great work....glad to see common sense is still alive.....I never watch TV or read the paper anymore.

Excellent documentary. Just one small thing, at 46.31, it is not a legal requirement to have a TV licence if you own a TV. Only if you watch programs at the time of airing or use BBC I player. You can watch all other catch up and demand services without the licence. The real kick in the teeth is that to watch GBnews live you have to pay the BBC.

I worked in journalism at the BBC, although I thankfully left several years ago. Its problem is it employs huge numbers coming out of universities with near identical left-of-centre world views. I could count the number of people I met who were politically conservative on the fingers of one hand. There is little or no diversity of opinion. It means the BBC finds it hard, or is incapable of, reporting the world as it is - with its wildly differing viewpoints - but only how they collectively agree the world ought to be. It makes editorial decisions about the world and issues filtered through the heads of small groups of people who eagerly read The Guardian each day. I worked at BBC World Service and even much of its output seemed to me absurdly shaped by middle-class, left leaning UK sensibilities. This bias and world view, so at odds with how much of the world actually thinks and behaves, was utterly pervasive among some of its staff at least and the problem appears to have got massively worse over the past five years or so with the advent of priggishly self-righteous and partisan identity politics.

I once believed there was no profession other than politics in which ideology played such a significant role in shaping identity. I was wrong. Partisan journalists also rely on ideology for their identity. But ideology is such an utterly vacuous basis on which to rest one’s credibility and reputation. Journalists are nothing special. They’re simply ordinary, opinionated people. Why we reify them as the new ‘gods’ worthy of shaping our socioculture defies reason!

In defence of journalism as a profession, when I trained as an indentured apprentice on a weekly newspaper many years ago we were taught to keep our opinions out of reporting. I'm not pretending that much of journalism was not utterly partisan in years gone by, but at least this was the ideal. Now I have no sense in much of what passes for journalism that impartiality and evidence-based journalism is even remotely a goal to be aspired to.

@@jackdelacey7392 My comment was actually a ‘satire’ to the ‘left’ comment above and you fell for it. To separate everything into (political) ‘left’ and ‘right’ is a disease not only in the USA. No one should be judged on his political agenda alone but on the actions he or she did, rather the moral ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ than the political ‘left or right.’ So, political ‘right’ entrepreneur Trump created his wealth and created job. But his company filed for bankruptcy at least 4 times (!) that he had n o t to pay his contractors who could not pay the workers and don’t have to follow his other responsibilities. Like milking the cow but not willing to feed it. Of course, when you criticize the (political) ‘left’ you don’t see any good at all, blinded by your ‘right’ conviction. - ‘Affordable Healthcare’ is neither ‘left’ socialism nor liberalism but a right for those in need and the responsibility for the government to give farmers and worker a social network. -Minimum wage is neither socialism nor liberalism but a human right to live a dignified life in capitalist USA. -Wearing a mask is neither ‘left’ socialism nor liberalism but a personal responsibility to fight the virus. You fell for my ‘satire’ because you are blinded by your ‘convictions’. And I am sure you don’t understand the moral ‘rights’ of any government like my samples for affordable healthcare, dignified life, fight a common enemy like a ‘virus’.

Best programme I've seen all year on KZread. Well done. May it have a vast audience! One area you missed, and which was the first issue I noticed to be biased, is the Israel/Palestine tension. It was in the 90s that I became aware that if Israel was attacked, the question was always 'What did they do to provoke that?'. Never was a sympathetic word said about the Israelis, however badly they were attacked.

Excellently crafted polemic from Robin Aitken, will fall on deaf ears at the BBC but is deeply resonate throughout the country.

This is a wonderful piece. Why doesn't the government abolish the licence fee? That alone would be a real vote winner.

Such an excellent piece of work, thank you NCF, and Robin Aitken. During the 90s I was still listening to Radio 4 every day, although people like John Humphreys were already a step too far. But by 2000 only the World service and one or two excellent exceptions like the Moral Maze were still on my personal schedule. Now I won’t even listen to TMS. Strange to relate, Humphreys now seems almost broadminded compared to the Maitlis brigade, and the Woke Service is a goner. The American Andrew Breitbart remarked that politics is downstream from culture. I think the BBC is happy with the idea of dictating to governments and politicians , and know that they are political, pace Rod Liddle. They just know not to admit it.

I dislike the term Liberal used to describe the modern Left, there is nothing Liberal (relates to personal freedom and liberty) about the authoritarian Left.
