  • Changes afoot?

    Just heard that Tim Davie and Deborah Turness have resigned. Here’s hoping that The BBC will return to unbiased factual reporting and less speculation. I always held the BBC in the highest regard but standards have slipped dramatically over the last few years. Fingers crossed.

  • Left Leaning Bias

    Informative International reporting. Terribly left leaning political bias when reporting on American politics.

  • Too anti-israel

    I used to love BBC. Listened for 15 years and just feels really biased now. Unfollowed and took off subscription. Maybe I’ll try Reuters. Maybe I’ll try again in a couple of years but if anyone from your company reads this just report the facts please. Just seems like I get opinions now.

  • Blatant bias

    I’m very disappointed. I’m used to BBC bias, but this story was over the top. For instance, the $16 Paramount paid did not go to Trump; it was for legal fees with the rest going to the Trump library—no mention of that in your story. You also didn’t mention that Colbert’s show loses $40M/year (almost 30 million pounds). Can you think of another TV show that loses that much?

    Again, very disappointing
