Rejected petition To stop the BBC inaccurately reporting and using that as propaganda to mislead
Absolutely fed up with the BBC grossly misleading the public by inaccurately reporting the news and offering 'their' bias opinions and perspectives. The public deserve to be provided with truthful information and they should not be deceived or mislead.
More details
Here is one of many many examples over a broad spectrum of reporting. It states "a dramatic drop in UK economy", whereas the report was about PMI which measures sentiment. Two very different things; either the BBC is incompetent or is deliberately aiming to deceive. Since the vote the BBC has been totally anti Brexit. Regardless of anybodies position on this vote, the truth should be reported. Also, news that the British people have the right to hear should not be unreported or BLACKED OUT.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The BBC is an independent body governed by a Royal Charter. Under the terms of that Charter, the BBC is operationally and editorially independent of government and there is no provision for the Government to intervene in the BBC’s day-to-day operations.
