The BBC has been pretty anti-government since about the time of Brexit. It was really obvious in particular during the pandemic, which had many decisions where all options had major downsides - and they spun whichever the government chose as obviously bad, focusing entirely on the downsides of that particular choice, then forgot about all those downsides and switched to spinning the new choice as the bad one the moment the government changed their mind. They also tend to just outright parrot opposition talking points without questioning or challenging them in any way, because that's reserved for stuff the government does. They even managed to outright knowingly lie about how the UK's Covid response compares to other countries in Europe during the early days of the pandemic, and apparently this doesn't violate their standards in any way. They're just not anti-government enough for a lot of people; for example, their journalists don't get to tell readers that every single Covid death was caused by Boris and he should go to jail for criminal manslaughter, even though that's clearly something they back given... certain retweets. |
