Except every link is dismissed as being from a biased source or lacking context or being agenda driven or rabble rousing or sensationalist or pandering or something else.

Depends on who it comes from. I instinctively distrust anything coming from multimillionaires with a political agenda. People like Lord Rothermere, the Barclay brothers and, of course, Rupert Murdoch. So I gravitate towards sources that are free of such influence. Which is almost impossible to find in the newspapers, whether on paper or online. So the BBC are my go to, primary source.

Surely you subscribe to Bakery Insider and Cakenomics - if only to ensure that any icing is on message?

BBC mission statement, in its charter:-"to act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services which ​inform, educate​ and ​entertain​." The BBC is funded by us, via a licence fee, is independent of government, and free of commercial pressures and the need to be "popular", in order to attract advertising revenue. So you explain why sources controlled by multimillionaires with open political agendas are likely to provide a better quality experience? Those who express distrust or dislike for the BBC inevitably do so because of their own political standpoint, whether that's on the left or the right. Most of us prefer information presented without any political spin.

Please explain what part of "to act in the public interest, serving all audiences through the provision of impartial, high-quality and distinctive output and services" you don't understand. Especially the word "impartial". The way the right, and indeed the left, constantly perceive bias in the BBC and moan about it is nothing new. It's just unfortunate that this site has a majority of right leaning posters whose prejudices against the BBC are laid bare in threads like this. So we regularly witness a festival of mutual bias confirmation which says so much more about them than ever it does about the BBC. Some of the recent posts are typical of this. It's both embarrassing to recognise that people really believe this, and amusing to see delusion.
