This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Parliament should abolish the BBC & create a politically impartial broadcaster.
The BBC is blatantly politically biased, towards the left of politics, and in favour of Remain in the EU Referendum campaign.
More details
THe BBC give far more time during their news braodcasts to those advocating Remain in the EU Referendum campaign. E.g. Barak Obama gets 15 minutes on prime news broadcasts, the Leave side gets 15 seconds. David Cameron gets 3 minutes, the Leave "economists" get merely a mention.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We can't accept your petition in its current form as it does not call for a clear action from the UK Government and Parliament. The BBC is already an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and parliament. The Charter also includes rules on impartiality.
