Rejected petition The TV licence should be abolished due to unacceptable bias in BBC news coverage

As a public service broadcaster, funded by the licence fee, the BBC has a duty to report news without bias. In covering subjects such as Brexit and the conflict between Israel and Palestine, the BBC has demonstrated an unacceptable degree of bias. This dereliction of duty is a betrayal of trust.
