> but the BBC is one of the most impartial sources available.
I almost spit out my coffee in laughter reading this. Entirely ridiculous assertion. You are completely blind to the fact that the BBC is insanely partial by picking and choosing what it reports on and what it doesn't. This is just level 2 detection of bias that you aren't reaching, imagine all the other things you're missing.
You’d need to have literally infinite resources if you wanted to avoid a situation of having to pick and choose what you report on.
What matters is that all sides of the debate get representation. And the BBC does this almost to a fault.
The ironic thing is the fact that BBC is so good at doing this, everyone feels their voice is marginalised and then complains of bias.
So when people call the BBC “biased”, and as ferociously as you have, what they’re actually saying is “the BBC airs too many opinions that oppose my own biases”
