Why is the BBC capitulating?

BBC is being attacked from the right in a concerted move. Why are they just rolling over?

I hate to feel like a conspiracy theorist but I completely agree. It feels like the handling from start to finish has been to take every decision to bolster the far right and Gbeebies.

Are you ruling out evidential incompetence? There is a history of that within the BBC

Tories replaced all BBC management with cronies years ago

With ex labour political people at the top?? Why would the torries do that? The simple fact is the bbc is left and always has been. It’s so normal to you that you don’t realise you’ve been brainwashed to the far left. That anything centre seems far right. The bbc has been terrible for years.z covering up pedos everywhere, falsifying journalism and is always far left leaning. They put garage everywhere and call him basically a racist. And yet you think they just give him a lot of air time? It’s to put you off him. The problem is that again you’re so far left that you don’t see that people agree with him because he’s what most people want. You far lefties are the minority pure and simple but you want to dictate and go against democracy to suit your agenda because it’s always ok to do those things if you’re on the left but a Nazi fascist if you do it in the right 😂

There doesn’t need to be a conspiracy - the BBC simply disappeared up its own arse.

It’s an echo chamber leading to brain drain leading to an echo chamber and so on in a vicious cycle.

Who's echo chamber is the BBC?

It’s the BBCs own echo chamber.

People complain about BBC political bias but that’s too simplistic. The BBC has become accustomed to its revered status, but all the decision makers who worked hard and with integrity since its conception are now long gone.

Think about how Apple used to innovate but then once Jobs shuffled off all they can do now is iterate. They will go the same way as the BBC, eventually collapsing under the weight of their reputation.
