The Biased Broadcasting Corporation 👑 Sycophantic and deferential to Buckingham Palace (again)

It's obviously tragic when anyone gets diagnosed with cancer. It's an awful disease and we're sorry to hear of Charles diagnosis, we wish him a speedy recovery.

As a monarchy, the health of King Charles raises fundamental questions about the constitution of the United Kingdom.

The BBC sweeps these issues under the carpet as it fawns over the Royal family, yet again. Why do they abandon all their normal journalistic principles and have such a blind spot when it comes to the Royal family?

“When it comes to coverage of the monarchy, the BBC's failure is wholesale and comprehensive, almost completely abandoning journalistic standards or any pretence of balance or independence. The scale of the corporation's failure on royal reporting is something to behold, and is only compounded by their refusal to see that failure for what it is or to engage meaningfully with these criticisms.

Despite this apparent commitment to reflect 'a wide range of perspectives' and to 'always scrutinise arguments, question consensus and hold power to account with consistency and due impartiality', on the issue of monarchy these noble undertakings are simply set aside in favour of coverage that is, to say the least, sycophantic and deferential.”
