//Any media source that says things that don't match the opinions I already hold : Corrupt and biased journalism.//

When a media source (who are supposed to be unbiased) have been accepting 'grants' from one side of the equation, Ludwig, surely you can see that it doesn't look very good.
The aBBC certainly understand that. It's why they've been hiding it for years.

The EU should ask for their bribe money back then. It isn't doing them much good. The leave vote won after all, and public opinion doesn't seem to have changed much.

"BBC Media Action is independent from the BBC - it is an international development charity set up by the BBC. In 2017-18 it received about £3.1m from the EU, which was just under 9% of its funding .

Its two biggest individual donors were the UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Department for International Development."

As the two largest donors are Government departments, would they not favour the Government?

[Zacs-Master]

Whatever the party, TCL?

[THECORBYLOON]

That's from your link but obviously amounts given would be up your the Government. My point is, that section of the BBC receives support from both sides of the Brexit argument but receives more from the Government.

the bbc should be wound down, or subscription service by choice
this subject always comes up, the bbc should be put out to pasture.

[Mozz71]

And replaced with what Fender? Fox news?

It would be a massive case of "don't know what you've got until its gone".

[Canary42]

. . . . unlike the completely impartial hard right newspapers, all run by billionaire non-doms who pay no UK tax.

[Spicerack]

Nobody is forcing you to pay for them, canary. Read a left wing paper if you like.

[THECORBYLOON]

SPICERACK, no-one is forcing you to use the BBC to support your arguments yet you do so, even though you say they are biased.

[Spicerack]

Fake news^
I have never, ever, not once in my life used the aBBC to 'support my argument'.
I'm afraid you've picked up a baton from your partner, Zacs, and ran with it, apparently without realising he's even more deluded than you are.
(lol, that wasn't my original expression)

[THECORBYLOON]

SPICERACK, you said "You surprise me that I've only [used the BBC to support my arguments] 18 times."

Make your mind up.

[THECORBYLOON]

You've not used a BBC link in any of your questions?

[Spicerack]

THECORBYLOON //SPICERACK, you said "You surprise me that I've only [used the BBC to support my arguments] 18 times."//

No, I didn't.
You really must take a more sober approach to posting on t'internet.

[Theland]

"Who pays the piper ............"

[THECORBYLOON]

SPICERACK, have you never used a BBC link in your questions?

[Spicerack]

Yes. Next.

[THECORBYLOON]

Yes, you have or yes you haven't?

[Zacs-Master]

I’m deluded? I’m not the one who’s used the BBC as a basis to post 18 questions and then says they’re biased!
