Let’s talk about BBC

[Beebo]

Football Focus has been pulled at the last minute.
Final score is also under threat as no one is presenting it.
Lots of teams have refused to speak with BBC journalists.
This is not looking good for BBC.

If only that could actually happen. Just imagine how much fun Joe would have at the expense of the BBC...

Unfortunately, that's a long term gain for those against a public, impartial BBC, as then they can say that it doesn't do general interest things like sport. It is almost as if it had been planned.

Unfortunately for the BBC, it has become the story.

Quite the own goal.

Unfortunate for the BBC, fortunate for Braverman and Co. Tails they win, heads we loose.

I think it could go the other way.
The presenters are clearly all annoyed with the current politicisation of the BBC and by withdrawing their labour have sent a strong message to those in charge.

Saturday's Match of the Day will now "focus on match action without studio presentation or punditry", a BBC spokesperson says.

Well, that sounds like an improvement?

Rather than being drawn in, at least, it imparts what the Tory party is about.

But, excellent for the many people who dislike the amount of football coverage.

As long as you support the suppression of free speech. Other proponents past and present include President Xi, Putin, Kim Jong-un, Robert Mugabe, Adolf Hitler, Mussolini etc.

It's not a good look.

 

[albion]

Remember, Putin was just 'taking back control'.

Dead end rhetoric it is. Very.

Since when has a dislike of football been an indicator of suppression of free speech?

Did all of those people you list remove football coverage from TV?, I never knew that.

It’s a change they could have made at any time if there was viewer demand for it. Are there many sports highlight programmes without punditry? Why might that be?
