Originally posted by Forest Hillbilly Really bewilders me, but it shouldn't.

Mr Sharp's appointment (by Boris Johnson) is under review following claims he helped Mr Johnson secure a loan before getting his job." (BBC, 29.2.23) This was pushed off the front pages earlier by,.."Rishi Sunak isn't wearing a seatbelt" Edited by Forest Hillbilly (29 Jan 2023 4.08pm) It shouldn't be I assume most of us would agree with that. However I read an article the other I can't remember where but its main point was Labour was just as bad.

it's kind of missing the point i was trying to make. In that some of these high-placed appointments are political, and designed to keep close control on media outlets. I have no allegiance to a party, because that plays into the hands of those who are in control. The elites. Politics is an established method for controlling the masses. And the BBC is part of that. I disengage, I turn the page.

It's easy after the event - everyone hears the original but no one hears the apology. BBC should be made to put it out on social media, on the front page of their website and more - every single time they have to apologise. We pay their wages - defund the BBC!!!!!!!!!!!!

The beeb doesn't do itself any favours does it? We won't be getting 'Autumnwatch' to 'save money', viewers are howling, however we will be paying 100s of thousands for people to shuffle playlists. And Lineker Shearer Murphy etc. who repeat the same tired old cliches week after week. 'He will be disappointed with that'. wow brilliant. To think I will not be watching Jane Hill is a fate worse than death. I preferred her to our late Queen.

a protest of angry people at the offices of RTE , in Ireland. There is the same flavour of anger here as in the UK.....the national broadcaster has gone so Woke that it is unrecognisable. Plus all the paranoid bullsh1t around Covid. RTE have gone so far to the Atheist Multiculti Progressive Feminist LGBT BLM Climate-bore Left ....that they make the BBC look like Oswald Moseley.
