Rejected petition The TV licence should be abolished if BBC News coverage cannot remain unbiased.

BBC News reporting helps indulge propaganda. Two areas specifically come to mind - firstly BREXIT - so much unbalanced negative reporting. This also happens on other news subject matters too. Palestinian/Israeli/Gaza conflicts where reporting is biased towards the Palestinians. Just two examples.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. It is not clear who would be responsible for deciding that the BBC was not unbiased, or how they would decide this.

You could start a new petition calling on the Government to create BBC bias guidelines, which, if broken, would then result in the abolishment of the TV license.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
