we're talking about the editing of one clip in one documentary. Not Waffle the Wonderdog barking 'up the Commies' in the after school club. There doesn't need to be a cultural shift in the BBC. there needs to be a shift in the deranged way we look at it, and our expectations of the service.

i feel like this is a reasonable take that i would have held pre-2024 (the BBC did screw up therefore there should be accountability) but the fact that this trivial editing mistake should have such terrible consequences, while right wing media lies with impunity constantly, makes my head explode
Exactly, so the BBC didn't need to shoot themselves in the reputation by editing it that way. But they did, and here we are

The Tory member and former election candidate that Boris Johnson appointed as DG of the BBC in order to make it more right-wing is now not right-wing enough to be DG of the BBC.
Couldn't really ask for a clearer example of the Overton window being pushed rightward, could you?

If it was me id have said "sure I'll apologise and resign, as soon as he apologises for lying about white South African farmers. Or about the extra judicial killings of 'drug dealers'". Integrity of the BBC lol. What about the integrity that comes with being a head of state?

Think one of the key things why adverts are such a thing with them is that people in ads are usually enjoying themselves and having a nice life; seeing non-white people be happy is something that drives your typical racist absolutely mad
Something I can't get over with the Sarah Pochin comments is that it's not just racist, it's also pathetic? Like oh wittle Sarah doesn't like the wittle adverts is it? Get a grip, you're a grown woman and member of parliament, stop being a snowflake and find a real problem to deal with
