  • 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

  • Simply no longer objective

    I have given you as many chances as i could out of great respect for the organization you used to be but you are simply too biased in your reporting on all current conflicts but especially on Gaza and Russia, i will miss the news but you no longer have my trust (btw hamas is not a political group its a murdering ruthless hateful terrorist organization responsible for the deaths of thousands including British citizens)

    I never thought I would become a victim because I never believed something like this could happen to me. But unfortunately, two months ago, I was blindsided by a binary options scam that cost me $200,000.I was promised generous returns on my capital, and at first, everything seemed to be going well. The platform seemed legit, and the returns were promising at first, but when I tried to withdraw my funds, they st... more
