Yes. They still have a responsibility to do accurate and unbiased reporting and their reporting has not been unbiased on many issues. I understand it has been a long process of breaking it down, but I refuse to lower my expectations or standards simply because they fail to reach those standards. If we all lowered our standards like that we might as well all watch Fox News.
Yep, nailed it. The whole accusation of ‘you’re too left-leaning’ when the reality is, public broadcasters are more neoliberal or even rightwing than ever, just to overcorrect for this false accusation
Of course I hate to see media be gutted like this
But let’s be honest, the BBC also completely fucking sucks. From holding off reporting to ‘not upset Number 10’ to whitewashing Israel’s Genocide through their Jerusalem office, to their blatant transphobia, the BBC is morally bankrupt. They’re trying to appease the right and the far-right when no appeasement will ever satisfy the side that has long ago decided the BBC should burn.
Feels AI tbh
Well, we want a moratorium on you supporting a fucking genocide, so no, up yours Starmer and co
Ok but can a cow use it?
Feels like this will be a precursor to arresting/killing them like they did with Maduro. Scumbags.
‘Gen Z is obsessed with’
Wat
Money.
It’s money. Plus they don’t want to piss off daddy Trump.
‘You turned the HUD on while it rained. Sorry buddy, but that’s why grandpa burned alive in the back seat.’
Bruh Israel has been bombing churches, mosques and literal fucking synagogues for years now, anyone who’s outraged now is a little late to finding out.
Bit late to start protecting Americans from warrantless surveillance now, don’t you think
Yeah he got off really light apparently. The prosecution wanted 3 years so 6 months seems way off. Makes an appeal seem almost inevitable.
I would generally agree with you. Unfortunately this is the system we have and I will admit, there is a personal pleasure in seeing consequences for this shit. In general I am also for prison abolition and restorative justice. I’m not as principled on this as I would like, I guess. That’s definitely a point for me to keep working on. I do however wonder what would make someone like this… rehabilitate.
Having said that, I will say the sharing of sexual deepfakes is definitely violent in an already extremely misogynist world where violence against women is often based on ideas of ownership of women’s bodies and violence. There is a specific sort of violence to it that I can not fully comprehend as a masc person, but that is definitely violent in nature. Not just violating, but explicitly violent. This act only further contributes to the underlying violence of misogyny, I think is what I’m getting at.
Thanks btw for your response, I think you make a good point.
How about you suck my farts <3
This is unfortunately true.
Appeal is still possible and likely. But yea I agree, it’s a crazy low sentence
True, but this is the issue with public media isn’t it? That any government can influence it no matter how much everyone pretends they don’t or shouldn’t. I’m still holding them to the standard of fair and independent reporting because it is the standard they must reach at any and all times.
But yeah as the BBC stands right now it is painfully obvious they’re not independent at all unfortunately
