Why is a Kiwi thinking he's entitled to decide what the BBC should be like?

@vladtheimpaler8995 Why is that racist? The New Zealanders are the same race as the British, generally speaking.

According to its remit it's supposed to be educational, not reflect the views of the average Brit.

@muckergee No. I prefer troll baiting.

@chrisgadsby5700 The BBC's charter requires it to be 'balanced' so if you think it's not, and you have collected evidence to prove it - by which I mean counting left, centre and right, viewpoints in programmes over a consistent period of time, you can write to the governors to point out bias. Every time the BBC has a spokesperson with some opinion they have to try and find someone of the opposite opinion to balance it. Very few people if any, ever prove bias against the BBC. What generally happens is that some people get used to hearing only views they agree with from selected other media sites and when they hear different views on the BBC it enrages them.

@jasonhannon4735 I don't think that will happen somehow, but don't we have the same situation already if people don't pay taxes, especially if they refuse to pay rather than not being able to afford to pay? What about all the people in the UK who can no longer feed themselves and their families and rely on food banks ? I don't see people making such a big fuss about that, but the TV licence issue enrages them. Food is essential. TV is not.

@howardjones7370 If you have collected verifiable proof that they have broken the terms of their charter in terms of impartiality, write to the governors of the BBC and send it to them. Their charter requires them to be balanced which means if they have people with one opinion they have to balance it out (not necessarily in the same show but over a reasonable time) with opposing opinions. I suspect what people think of as bias, is hearing, from a range of views, the views they dislike. So many people now can select media sites that only reflect their own bias that they are less and less used to hearing opposing viewpoints.

@muckergee Gosh! You have extra sensory powers. Not. You also made a lot of other errors such as 'de rigueur', you're... actually .. Brighton...don't...Also.. The head....BBC. If you are going to use a French phrase, make sure you know how to spell it. Was that admission of bias from a new head of the BBC that the government had a hand in appointing? Presumably he'll do his job to kow tow to the government now.

It's meant to give you facts not agree with ignorance. 158 people would prefer to remain ignorant it seems.
