Rejected petition Privatise BBC

More details

The BBC is biased against Christianity and Judaism, often reporting news events in a way akin to Nazi propaganda.

Incidence of violent Islamic extremism are reported in a way that suggests fear of Islam (ironically, 'Islamophobia'); the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been distorted to make Israel look bad; and reports on events relating to Christianity are consistently done in a negative way. For example, child abuse in the Catholic church is reported in such a way that it frames the Church rather than the individual priests involved. Whereas, the serious child abuse scandal at the BBC has been swept under the carpet.

I believe that the general public should not be forced to pay a fee to fund an organisation as immoral and biased as the BBC, regardless of whether they watch BBC channels.
